Brand Story
Oman Frankincense Oil exists to make authentic Omani Hojari frankincense more accessible to homes and practitioners around the world. The focus is simple:
Source genuine Boswellia sacra frankincense from its original homeland in Oman
Distill and present it in a clean, honest way – without unnecessary additives
Respect the long heritage of frankincense while keeping the products minimal and easy to use in everyday life
Why Oman
For thousands of years, resin from the Dhofar mountains in southern Oman travelled along the ancient Incense Route to the wider Middle East, Africa, and beyond. The combination of sea breeze, limestone-rich soil, and careful harvesting produces some of the world’s most sought-after frankincense, known as Hojari.
This region is still recognised today for:
- 1 High essential-oil content in the resin
- 2 Clean, light-coloured tears
- 3 A bright, citrus-resin aroma that many people consider the “gold standard” of frankincense
How the Oil Is Procured & Processed
Traditionally Sourced, Thoughtfully Refined
Resin harvest
Boswellia sacra trees in the Hojari belt of Dhofar are tapped by hand, and the hardened resin “tears” are collected over several weeks.
Selection & cleaning
Resin is graded, cleaned, and sorted; high-quality Hojari resin is reserved for essential oil distillation.
Steam distillation
The resin is gently steam-distilled in small batches to capture its natural aromatic compounds without any chemical solvents.
Resting & filtration
Freshly distilled oil is filtered and allowed to rest so the fragrance can settle and develop.
Bottling
The pure essential oil is filled into amber glass bottles to protect it from light and help preserve freshness.
Why Frankincense
Frankincense has been valued across cultures for centuries as:
a long-standing tradition in worship and prayer
A treasured ingredient in anointing oils and incense
A traditional support in skin and self-care routines
Quality Certificates & Purity Guarantees
Oman Frankincense Oil is dedicated to providing authentic and traceable frankincense. Every production batch of essential oil is linked to laboratory testing, such as GC-MS or similar analysis, conducted in collaboration with trusted Omani distillers or accredited labs. These tests confirm that the oil is genuine Boswellia sacra and verify its key aromatic compounds, ensuring there are no synthetic fragrances or obvious adulterants present. Lab reports and certificates are available upon request for wholesale or professional customers, and key highlights are provided on the website for transparency. Quality is ensured through the careful selection of Hojari resin from Dhofar, controlled steam distillation without the use of chemical solvents, and amber glass packaging, which helps protect the oil over time.
It is 100% pure Boswellia sacra essential oil, distilled from high-grade Hojari frankincense resin sourced from the Dhofar region of Oman.
