What makes Sacred Frankincense different from other types of Frankincense?
Sacred Frankincense essential oil has a richer, deeper, less citrusy aroma than other varieties of Frankincense essential oil. It also contains 20% more alpha-pinene, a type of plant compound that helps boost immunity, and more. These differences are due to the fact that Sacred Frankincense is steam distilled from the resin of the wood of the Boswellia sacra tree, which grows only in Oman and is much rarer than other Boswellia trees.
What are some Sacred Frankincense Essential Oil benefits?
Research suggests frankincense compounds may have beneficial effects on inflammation, infection, and oral health. A comprehensive review by Almeida-da-Silva et al. (2022) found that boswellic acids, the major active components in frankincense, exhibit anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. While more research is needed, frankincense extracts show potential for supporting oral and skin health due to these biological activities. However, effects can vary based on the specific Boswellia species and extraction methods used (Almeida-da-Silva et al., 2022).

Reviews
Frankincense
"I like all three of the varieties of frankincense that RMO has traditionally offered. This one is my favorite, but it’s a splurge. One of my favorite ways to use it is by adding one or two drops to a citrus blend in a diffuser in the fall."
— Linda (5/5)
The Best! But no longer available. . . .
"This is the best Frankincense I've found. Like many other reviews, I'm sad that I cannot get the size i want, the 4oz size. It feels like a very long time since it's been available. Is there more information to help us understand? This product is the main reason I maintained my Oilty membership. . and I feel like I've been patient!! Is there any new information about availability of larger quantities?"

Huge price increase
"Ive been buying this at 15 ml for $100. Now there’s no 15 ml option?? And the 5ml is $50. Which would be the equivalent of $150 for the 15ml. Hugely disappointed in this. I’m looking to find my frankincense elsewhere unless I see this option back."

Q&A
Which frankincense oil is better for cancer? Why is sacred more expensive?
Hi MaryAnn, Thank you for reaching out with your question. I must start by saying that we are not medical professionals, and we cannot recommend the use of any essential oil for the treatment of cancer. It is critical that you consult with your doctor or a qualified medical professional for all cancer treatment advice. Frankincense oil is not a medically recognized treatment or cure for cancer. While there are a few very early-stage human clinical studies showing some promising preliminary results, there is currently no large-scale clinical evidence to prove that frankincense oil or extracts can treat or cure cancer. The majority of promising research has been conducted in labs and on animals, and it often focuses on specific extracts of the resin, not the essential oil itself. For this reason, it is critical that anyone with a cancer diagnosis consults with their medical professional for all treatment decisions. All types of frankincense oil, including Frankincense Serrata (Boswellia serrata), Frankincense Carterii (Boswellia carterii), and Sacred Frankincense (Boswellia sacra), have a variety of chemical components. However, there is no clinical evidence to suggest that one type is more effective for cancer than another. The price of Sacred Frankincense is primarily due to its sourcing and availability. It comes from the Boswellia sacra tree, which is native to specific regions of Oman, a country with a long and revered history of producing this type of frankincense. The careful and sustainable harvesting practices, along with its cultural significance and high demand, make it a more costly oil to produce.
What carrier oil do you recommend with Sacred Frankincense Essential Oil?
Hi Cheryl, Sacred Frankincense blends beautifully with carrier oils like Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO), Jojoba Oil, or Almond Oil. FCO is a great choice since it’s odorless, light, and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it ideal if you want the pure aroma of Sacred Frankincense to stand out.
