Product description
Frankincense CO₂-se extract ORGANIC is a pure natural extract from the resin of the tree Boswellia carterii, obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This gentle method makes it possible to preserve a high content of active substances, including boswellic acids, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and diterpenic alcohols (incensol, serratol). The extract is light yellow, clear, liquid and is characterized by a typical balsamic, woody-citrus aroma with a slightly spicy note. It is obtained from organically certified resin originating from trees growing in Somalia and meets the standards of organic quality (BIO, COSMOS, HALAL, KOSHER).

It has a warm, balsamic and slightly citrus aroma with fine spicy notes – typical of high-quality Boswellia carterii frankincense.
The abbreviation CO₂-se denotes a so‑called selective extract – a selective CO₂ extract obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. In this process, mainly volatile aromatic components (monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes) and a minimum of heavier substances are extracted. The result is an extract similar to an essential oil, but with higher purity and stability. In contrast to CO₂-to (total extract), which also contain resins and waxes, “selective” extracts are clear, light and ideal for cosmetic formulations.
