Frankincense Oil Steam Distilled
Boswellia serrata
Frankincense oil steam distilled from Boswellia serrata resin is one of the oldest aromatic materials still in active commercial demand. Sourced from the dry deciduous forests of central and western India, the resin is tapped by hand, graded, and distilled — a process Kannauj houses have refined over nine decades.
Technical Specifications
LOT: SEI-2025Why Buyers Source This Oil from India / Kannauj
India is one of the world's principal sources of Boswellia serrata resin. Kannauj distillers have processed frankincense for generations, combining copper-pot heritage with modern stainless-steel distillation. Indian-origin frankincense oil typically delivers a softer, more balsamic profile compared to East African Boswellia carterii, making it especially suited for fine fragrance work. Buyers benefit from direct access to resin-belt supply chains, competitive pricing, and GC-MS tested lots shipped from a single facility.
