Why this is our pick
A clearly-labeled Boswellia carterii (the classic frankincense species), USDA organic and GC-MS tested per batch, from a reputable non-MLM house. A grounding, versatile choice for diffusion and meditation, and the species most people picture as 'frankincense'.

This is the 100% pure Carterii (10 mL); a pre-diluted roll-on is a different thing if you want full flexibility. It's worth checking the label says carterii: the carterii, serrata and frereana species smell and behave differently. Dilute for skin, and don't ingest it.
