Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil

Description

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil is also known as Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil.

The name Olibanum is derived from the Arabic words for milk; al Luban. This refers to the milky nature of the sap that exudes from the Boswellia Tree, which is then used to make this beautiful essential oil.

Olibanum was once a rare and treasured commodity, which was traded by the spice caravans, all across the Middle East, Africa and Indian subcontinent. It has been used for many applications for thousands of years, by a diverse array of cultures.

Olibanum Carterii is especially valued for skincare applications, owing to its miraculous skincare benefits. (See later.)

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil In Wild As The Wind Products

Organic Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil makes its most notable appearance in FACIAL OIL No. 2, which is the Wild As The Wind top-selling product.

It is also used in FACIAL OIL No. 8, another enormously popular Wild As The Wind product.

Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is not, however, used in Frankincense & St. John’s Wort Preparation. It is a differing form of Frankincense, with even more anti-inflammatory benefit, which is used in this product. This alternative Frankincense aromatherapy oil is variously known as Frankincense Serata Essential Oil or Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil, and even Indian Frankincense Essential Oil.

It is also this version of Frankincense which accompanies Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil in the most popular Wild As The Wind Body & Bath Oil, although Frankincense Serata Essential Oil also appears in other Body & Bath Oils by Wild As The Wind due to it’s superb anti-inflammatory capabilities.

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil Aroma

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil has a deeply pleasing and relaxing aroma, and is many people’s favourite.

Made from the resin of the Boswellia Tree, Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil has an unmistakable woodsy aroma. But, it is also very fragrant, with a complex aroma… slightly musky, with caramel and pine forest overtones.

Olibanum Carteri Essential Oil is used aromatically by a number of religious orders, including: the Catholic Church and Buddhist Orders, and subsequently, many Catholic Churches carry a faint whiff of Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil.
