Product information "Primavera Frankincense African organic essential oil"
Discover the soothing properties of Primavera’s organic African frankincense essential oil. This balsamic, resinous oil, extracted from the resin of the Boswellia tree, impresses with its versatile uses.
Organic African Frankincense essential oil (formerly known as Arabian Frankincense) has a resinous, sweet, balsamic scent; it has a balancing, purifying and skin-soothing effect and helps to regenerate the skin. The essential oil (bot. Boswellia carterii) is used for skincare and has proven highly effective for irritated skin. When astringent properties are required, African frankincense (formerly known as Arabian frankincense) is an important component of customised aroma blends – for example, for skin with enlarged pores or for leg care in cases of heavy legs.
Its regenerative properties make this essential oil highly valuable in scar treatments. It is very popular in combination with organic myrrh as a skin-protecting balm for dry, chapped skin. In aromatherapy for mental well-being, the scent of African/Arabian frankincense essential oil is also used in inspiring fragrance blends and promotes introspection.
The essential oil of African frankincense, formerly known as Arabian frankincense (bot. Boswellia carterii), is comparable in its main effects and constituents to Indian frankincense (bot. Boswellia serrata). The scent differs, however, as Indian frankincense smells fresher and less sweet. African frankincense has a more balsamic scent. The botanical names Boswellia carterii and Boswellia carteri can be used synonymously for African frankincense.
The essential oil is extracted from the resin of a balsam tree (Boswellia) that grows in arid regions of Africa, India and the Near East (e.g. Oman, Yemen). The resin (olibanum) of the Boswellia tree is collected, dried and sorted. It is then either used as resin (e.g. for incense) or further processed into essential oil or extracts.
The region comprising Africa and the Near East was formerly also known as Arabia, which is why this name is also found in relation to essential oils. Until now, frankincense oil from Africa (Somaliland) has been sold by PRIMAVERA under the product name ‘Arabian frankincense’; from 22 September, we will be offering the product as ‘organic African frankincense’. The frequently mentioned boswellic acid is found in frankincense resin, but not in the essential oil. During steam distillation or water-boiling distillation, boswellic acid is not transferred into the essential oil. It is obtained using other extraction methods.
Skin Protection Balm: Frankincense and Myrrh
For chapped, very dry patches of skin, slowly melt 25 ml of raw, organic shea butter in a bain-marie. Mix thoroughly with 25 ml of organic aloe vera oil in a screw-top jar (50 ml capacity). Add 3 drops each of organic myrrh and organic African/Arabian frankincense and stir in. Rapid cooling in the fridge helps the shea butter to form a smooth surface again as it sets. Apply the balm to the affected areas and massage in. Ideally, moisturise the skin with a floral water, e.g. orange blossom water.
Leg rub for heavy legs – shaken emulsion
Soothes, cools and nourishes the skin; the massage promotes blood circulation in the skin. Add the essential oils (5 drops of African/Arabian frankincense, 10 drops of organic cypress, 10 drops of organic juniper berry) into 50 ml of apricot kernel oil. Top up to 100 ml with 50 ml of witch hazel water in a 100 ml bottle, then seal with a pump dispenser. Always shake well before use. Storing it in the fridge provides an extra burst of freshness.
