Botanical Name: Boswellia carteri
Plant Part: Resin
Country of Origin: Somalia/France
Method of Extraction: Steam distillation
Plant material originates in Somalia, oil is distilled in France. Warm, woody, spicy, incense-like aroma. Frankincense has been used since ancient times in religious ceremonies and is still used in many churches today.
Some of its properties are antiseptic, astringent, cicatrisant, diuretic, digestive, uterine and sedative. Slows down breathing and produces feelings of calm. Ideally used for meditation. Like most other oils extracted from resins, frankincense is effective for respiratory catarrhal discharge and respiratory congestion. Used in inhalations, it may be helpful for asthma sufferers as it eases shortness of breath. Its astringent properties may relieve uterine hemorrhages, as well as heavy periods and generally acts as a tonic to the uterus. Its cytophylactic properties make it an ideal oil for mature, wrinkled skin in need of a lift.
Blends well with basil, geranium, lavender, orange, neroli, patchouli and sandalwood. Flash point: 80 deg. F. (Cannot ship via air or ocean w/o appropriate documentation, cannot ship via postal air services.)

Only Frankincense Carterii stops my reactive asthma attack that leads to anaphalaxis. I put in under my nose on my throat and chest when my throat starts to close or tongue gets thick and get away from offending smell causing my asthma and within 7 minutes I can breathe again. It works great on my dog to. Also, excellnet to put straight on wounds to heal and prevent infection, I use it my my face cream, too. Love it!!!

The quality of the France Frankincense is worth every penny. This is a complex, earthy scent, and it gets better with age. I had to up my quantity of oz I purchased, because I use it in so many of my popular EO blends

This oil has a very fresh, limpid, mineral, stingy and penetrating scent. It’s clean and sharp, no dullness here. There’s something sacred, mystic and crystalline about this scent. I imagine staring at the sky at dusk while the stars slowly appear one after the other.

Do not underestimate this oils worth! I use this with helichrysum, lavendar, and geranium in almond oil in a roller bottle as a facial serum before bed. Love it!

We have found this oil to be beneficial for so many things. Skin-cuts, wrinkles, rashes, you name it. Also just a wonderful, yes, heavenly scent. I like to add a drop to most of my blends, for massage oil or diffuser. Brings a great, warm balance to it.

I bought the Ethiopia and India. The Ethiopia, reviewed here is a tad sweeter than the Indian. Both are very good. If you are just getting into oils, get at least 1/2 ounce of Frankincense, you will use this one often.

This frankincense is far superior to others I have ordered from different companies, and I have tried several! This is most pure frankincense I have found anywhere. Its properties for nourishing mature skin are beyond par. A few drops of this oil in a carrier oil of your choice makes the best wrinkle serum you can imagine. In addition, however, this particular oil from Camden-Grey also has deeply aroma-therapeutic qualities.

Literally heavenly being a biblical scent, I was very pleased! Very strong and pleasing woody, menthol-ish so a little goes a long way! GREAT PRICE TOO!

I just ordered another bottle of this great oil! I've used it in many blends for clients, family, and myself! It has helped heal many types of infections, skin abnormalities, and most recently a bite from a Brown Recluse! Of course this was in a EO blend and not alone, but it is still a powerful oil by itself! Not to mention the fact that it smells heavenly! Highly Recommend this being in everyone's cabinet!
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
