Description: The trunk of the frankincense tree exudes a sticky substance called resin. This resin is made up of roughly 65% gum, 30% resin and 4% essential oil. It can be harvested once the resin has hardened into crystals. Historically, Frankincense has been used in perfumes & cosmetics for thousands of years. Today it remains a fragrance component in soaps, incense, and of course, cosmetics and perfumes. Please Note: As with any manufacturing process, New Directions Aromatics encourages small, lab scale manufacturing for evaluation purposes prior to full commercial manufacturing.

This item was a top seller for me at the Holistic World Expo.
I packed them in a vegetable cellulose bag in 100 g quantities with a card giving instructions.
Customers were fascinated by the look of the resin, and entranced by the smell.

Beautiful product. Glad you are offering it. I use the granules to make infused oil.

These granules are wonderful ~ I place them on my cast iron wood stove in the winter and enjoy the warm, rich fragrance, there's nothing else like it.

This was a fun a spur of the moment purchase on my part. Wasn't really sure what I would use them for but discovered when I blended them down that it was a great addition to one of my soaps and I continue to think up new ideas to try them with.

What a scent! These are so cool- would be a good addition to soaps, to a fire on a cold night...imagine the possibilities!
