Frankincense Boswellia rivae- The “Ogaden,” a Somali region in Ethiopia
Boswellia rivae is a very hard resin but when you break it open, the gum oozes out of it and the smell is totally incredible. When you break it open it smells just like a beautiful perfume. To me, it has a vanilla cinnamon aroma which makes it really unique.
It has a high content of limonene, alpha-pinene, and octanol. This resin can be used to help with congestion. Actually octanol is found in many perfumes. It has some boswellic acid in it and is excellent for whatever ails you. You can infuse it in a carrier oil and actually use it as a perfume. I have infused it in a carrier oil and actually wear it as a perfume, it actually smells better than some of the regular perfumes I have.
Burning it as incense will bring out its aromatic smell. The people in the Ogaden region actually use it to cleanse their homes.
B. Rivae is known for its clarifying effect on skin and is also excellent for mature skin
My goal is to sell quality resins at an affordable price. Some of you know me as the Queen of Resins because of the knowledge I have from constantly studying these resins and the friendships I have created with those who sell and harvest these beautiful trees.
These resins are harvested by Fair Trade Standards only.
