Key Features

  • CO2 EXTRACTCO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 to extract all botanical materials from the plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil with no solvent residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction.
  • AROMATHERAPY – This Frankincense CO2 extract is intensely relaxing, soothing and comforting.  It has been used for thousands of years in religious practices and as a traditional form of medicine in the East.  These days It is a great addition to massage blends and is a great option to use on sore joints and muscles. It has a peppery undertone, with pine/citrus top notes.

  • HOW TO USE – Frankincense is a ‘Select’ extract, so it can be used for diffusion.  It contains naturally occurring Pentacyclic and  Triterpenic acids which are known to soothe stiffness in joints and muscles when used in massage and  because of this, Frankincense has been used traditionally as a medication against inflammatory diseases throughout history.
  • QUALITY 100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Frankincense extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Somalia. Latin name: Frankincense Carterii.

Frankincense CO2 Extract

Frankincense, a deeply comforting and supportive CO2 Extract

 

A light, yellow fluid. Widely recorded in ancient civilisations as part of spiritual and religious practice, this extract is intensely relaxing, soothing and comforting. Renowned for its natural antibacterial effects and for multiple skin benefits. Promotes deep breathing so it is a great oil to diffuse when resting or during meditation or Yoga and Pilates.

What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract? 

Total extracts – These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts – Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an essential oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% essential oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.

Why is our Frankincense CO2 Extract so great?

 

To source the best natural oil suppliers, we travel the world and only opt for oils from controlled, sustainable sources that have little or no negative impact on the environment. This Frankincense has been sourced from Somalia, and is a highly concentrated extract of the resin of the Boswellia tree.  When it reaches us it is then tested on site at our Hampshire laboratories to ensure excellent quality.  

In addition, none of the Absolute Aromas products are tested on animals, and all are vegan and free from GM materials.
