Each jar contains 10g of pure extract, supplied in a UV protective violet glass jar to preserve potency and freshness. At recommended usage rates this is enough to formulate approximately 5–10 x 100ml face oils, or 4–6 x 50ml potent balms.
Many will be surprised to learn that a simple oil infusion cannot capture the most sought after part of Frankincense: the Boswellic Acids, which are trapped in the resin and cannot be released by oil infusion alone. There are no boswellic acids in frankincense essential oil either, as the molecules are simply too large to survive steam distillation. While homemade oil infusions do smell wonderful, they leave these potent resin compounds locked away. Ground resin infusions also contain the natural tree gums present in whole resin, which are water-soluble only and will not dissolve in oil, often leaving behind a sticky or gritty residue in your finished product.
Amora Botaniques is the only place you’ll find this pure, oil-soluble form of Frankincense, carefully refined to deliver a complex profile of naturally occurring resin acids, terpenes and triterpenes. Shipped directly from within the UK and meticulously made for those who wish to create their own powerhouse products at home, completely tree-gum free.
Frankincense is the sap of Boswellia frankincense trees, dried in the sun to create tears of resin. Graded in colour and scent depending on the region grown, time of year harvested, age and oxidation stage. Royal and green are the most sought after for their appearance, however Carterii and Serrata contain the highest levels of boswellic acids and are each prized for their long history of use.
At Amora Botaniques we have done the heavy lifting for you. Using a specialised extraction process, we unlock the full potential of the resin, delivering a complete, refined extract with everything Frankincense has to offer and none of the tree gum, sticky mess or waste. The result is a pure concentrated resinoid containing the much sought after Boswellic Acids, dried and ground to a fine pale powder that dissolves beautifully into your chosen carrier oil.
How to Use

Important Information
Storage and Texture: This is a natural botanical product. If moisture enters the jar or it becomes warm, the powder may begin to clump. This is a natural reaction and does not affect quality or potency. Simply place in the freezer for 15 minutes, then break apart with the back of a spoon or give it a shake. The extract will still dissolve fully into your carrier oils with the same results.
Shelf Life: For maximum freshness, use within 5 years of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Usage: For external, cosmetic use only. Do not ingest.
Safety: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As with all concentrated botanicals, we recommend a patch test before full application. Keep out of reach of children.
