INGREDIENTS
dōTERRA Frankincense oil is steam distilled from the resin of five main species of the genus Boswellia trees in the family Burseraceae, particularly Boswellia sacra (syn. B. bhaw-dajiana). Other species are B. carterii, B. frereana, B. serrata (B. thurifera, Indian frankincense), and B. papyrifera. Native to NE Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, its vari-ous grades depend on the time of harvesting. The resin of a tree is a sap-like substance with a high viscosity. Its main constituents are a-pinene, limonene, a-thujene.
