About the material

Boswellia papyrifera is an Ethiopian frankincense especially associated with church incense. Its resin has the familiar, classic frankincense character many people recognize from liturgical incense.

Source & preparation

Sourced from Ethiopia and offered in its natural form without additives, fillers, or fragrance enhancement. This Grade 1 selection consists primarily of medium resin tears.

Appearance & natural variation

The medium resin tears range from light gold to warm golden amber.

Piece size, shape, color, translucency, and surface texture vary naturally. Small chips or resin dust may be present.
How to use

Use the tears on their own as incense, or as the frankincense component in a loose blend. Crush as needed when a recipe calls for smaller resin pieces.

Soul Space warmer: Use a small piece of aluminum foil over the mesh when warming resin on its own.
Storage

Store closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Safety & handling

For aromatic use only. Do not ingest or apply to skin. If warming or smoldering, use in a well-ventilated area on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Never leave heat or flame unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials. Allow tools and surfaces to cool completely before handling.
