Frankincense Hydrosol

Distilled from Pure Grade A Resin of Boswellia Carterii from Somalia -  with that pristine Netherlands water 

This frankincense hydrosol is distilled by the same company that makes the extraordinary boswellic acid extract used in my frankincense resin oil and salve.

Because their distillation process is so superior - and because they use the same sustainably-sourced grade A frankincense resin to make this hydrosol - its quality is unmatched, so I just had to make it available to you!

What is a Hydrosol?

Hydrosols are the product of the distillation of plant material - fresh leaves, fruits, flowers, and other plant matter. In this case, it's a resin. 

The hydrosol is an "aromatic water" with similar properties to frankincense essential oil, although far less concentrated. Hydrosols typically capture a small amount of essential oil.  

The aroma of a hydrosol is usually similar to its essential oil, but often with a greener note when it is made from the water soluble constituents of the plant, which are not present in the essential oil. 

However, with this frankincense hydrosol there is no plant material other than pure 100 percent grade A resin - meaning, it is devoid of all tree bark, leaves, etc. That's what makes it "Grade A." This results in a deeper, more robust frankincense aroma both in this hydrosol and the essential oil that they produce. 

Frankincense is known for its fresh woodsy, balsamic and slightly lemony notes, which definitely come through in this outstanding hydrosol!

Suggestions for Use

Frankincense is one of the oldest and most traditionally used incenses in the world due to its profound physical and emotional effects, particularly its grounding and soothing properties. That is why the aroma of frankincense has been used for centuries to help people during times of stress - to help restore a sense of balance.

Here are a few suggestions on how frankincense hydrosol can be used:

• Stress Reduction: Mist it onto your face for a calming, relaxing reboot when feeling stressed or emotionally off-kilter. 
• Facial Toner: Frankincense hydrosol also makes an excellent facial toner! You can mist it on or apply it with a cotton ball.
• Soothing Skin Irritations: It can be applied to any skin irritation; it's safe and gentle enough for use on children and sensitive-skinned people. Try it for bug bites, sunburn, minor cuts and scrapes, diaper rash, heat rash, dry skin, and any other skin issues. It's even used traditionally as an insect repellent!

Preservation and Shelf Life

Hydrosols are water-based, therefore have a shorter shelf life than oils. That being said, frankincense is naturally antimicrobial so it has this going for it!

The shelf life is about a year provided you keep it in a cool place away from sunlight.

For optimal preservation, I recommend storing it in the refrigerator. If you have a larger bottle, you can keep that in the fridge and use it to refill a smaller bottle, kept in a more convenient place. A refrigerated bottle should last for years.
