Description
Botanical Origin
Young Living's Sacred Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) comes from the arid, rocky regions of Dhofar, Oman. This essential oil is carefully distilled from the resin of the frankincense tree, a species revered throughout history for its exceptional aromatic properties. Extraction is carried out by steam distillation, a process that seeks to preserve the integrity and purity of its components.
Resin collection has been practiced for millennia, following traditional methods that respect the tree and its natural cycle. This sustainable approach ensures the continuity of this precious raw material, guaranteeing a responsible supply of one of the most revered essential oils.
Main Chemical Composition
Sacred Frankincense essential oil is distinguished by a complex composition of monoterpenes, with alpha-pinene, limonene, and sabinene as its main components. These compounds are responsible for many of the aromatic characteristics and properties associated with this oil.
- Alpha-pinene: Known for its distinctive pine aroma and uplifting aromatic properties.
- Limonene: A monoterpene found in citrus peels, which provides a fresh and uplifting note.
- Sabinene: Contributes to a complex aromatic profile, slightly spicy and warm.
The combination of these and other secondary terpenes gives Sacred Frankincense its unique olfactory profile and value in various applications.
Aromatic Profile
Sacred Frankincense possesses a deeply spiritual yet comforting aroma. It is a resinous, balsamic, and warm fragrance, with slightly citrusy and spicy nuances. Its olfactory complexity makes it an ideal oil for meditation, yoga, and creating environments conducive to concentration.
- Top notes: Light and fresh, with a citrusy and camphoraceous touch.
- Heart notes: Warm and resinous, with hints of pine and a subtle sweetness.
- Base notes: Deep and balsamic, evoking earth and spirituality.
This aromatic profile makes it very adaptable, pairing well with other essential oils to create personalized blends.

Improves my Eyesight and Makes Arthritis Pain Go Away!
Sacred Frankincense by Young Living is the highest quality frankincense in my opinion. I put it under my eyes at night to help make the bags go away and I noticed my eyesight improving! I was going to get glasses but no longer need to. It also helps make ALL of my arthritis pain go away. I dilute it with an organic coconut oil made for mixing essential oils. I've also noticed that whenever I have this on my skin that it improves my energy levels and mood. It has also helped significantly reduce a family member's stage 4 cancer pain. We call it SUPER FRANK in my house!
Great transaction

Lovely scent but will need to dilute for pets
I bought this essential oil for my cat with cancer. I wasn’t aware that frankincense had cancer fighting properties. Though it has a lovely scent, my kitty ran when I presented it because it was too strong for his senses. I’d recommend diluting this with a pet friendly carrier oil if using for pet therapy purposes.
