Frankincense
Frankincense has been a valued trade commodity since ancient times by many peoples,
including the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians, and Kushites. The precious
resins comprise what’s believed to be the world’s oldest global supply chain.
Frankincense essential oil is a proprietary blend of resins from four tree species:
Boswellia carterii, B. papyrifera, B. frereana, and B. sacra. dōTERRA blends multiple
frankincense trees because different trees thrive in different environments and soil types.
Myrrh
Myrrh is native to Somaliland, where it has been harvested for generations. Myrrh
essential oil comes from steam-distilling the tree’s resin. The tree has rugged, angled,
and thorny branches with few leaves. The sap hardens and dries into a glossy, amber-
colored resin, which darkens over time.
Sandalwood (Hawaiian)
There are many sandalwood tree species. Santalum paniculatum is the sandalwood tree
native to Hawaii, which is sustainably sourced from the Big Island (Hawaii).
’Iliahi is the Hawaiian name for sandalwood. Unfortunately, the sandalwood trade has a
sensitive place in Hawaii’s history. We’re mindful of this history and fully committed to
caring for and protecting the long-term survival of this tree.
