Background
Boswellia serrata is a medium-sized deciduous tree with a light, spreading crown and drooping branches. The tree produces an oleo-resin known as Frankincense. The English word Frankincense originates from the French word Franc-Encens, which means high-quality essence or fragrance. This oleo-resin is used for extracting the essential oil that is used for its aroma and therapeutic abilities. Its aroma has a relaxing and focusing effect on the mind.
General Information
Ecodrop’s Organic Frankincense essential oil is produced by steam distillation of the oleo-resin of Boswellia serrata tree sourced from India. Ecodrop ensures the best quality of the essential oil by processing only dark yellow, amber-coloured resins obtained at the end of cultivation during summer and by maintaining a PH range of 5.5-6.5. The raw material obtained self-preserves itself until it crystallises, which is then crushed into a fine powder and steam distilled.

High Quality for a Bargain Price.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the oil comparable with the cost, I hadn’t expected such a high quality product for the low price.
A wonderful oil with a lovely scent that is neither overpowering nor too weak.
Just right for mixing with a carrier oil for massage, I should imagine it would make a nice soap or scented candle and would do well as a high end room fragrance.
I would recommend Eco Drop oils to anyone that knows their stuff!

Lovely frankincense oil…
Delighted with the frankincense oil. It was just what I was looking for, smells amazing and was a good price. The seller delivered quickly. Would definitely buy again and try more products in the range. Thank you!

Great customer service
Ecodrop have great customer service. I ordered my oil in good faith because it sounded like it was good quality and the company care, but you never know with essential oils! I then realised that the company was not an ATC member, so made an enquiry to find out why. I got a quick reply explaining that they are a new company who hope to be members soon, and they assured me that the oil was pure and good quality. I’m not a professional and don’t scientifically test the oil but it seems very good quality. You also get an ebook emailed to you which is a lovely touch.

It is a good essential oil!
I really like this essential oil, it smells wonderful! Good price too. Every morning I mix it on my hand with a bit of organic coconut butter. You just need one or two drops of frankincense.. You will notice the difference… Don’t use any chemicals on your skin or hair because they will go in your blood stream and harm you eventually…

Excellent product at an excellent price
Firstly I loved the price – lovely to be able to buy therapeutic quality organic oil at this price.
Secondly, but more importantly, the oil is excellent. I was worried it wouldn’t have the same feel or aroma as more expensive oils or might irritate my sensitive skin, but it’s absolutely lovely.
Thirdly – the service was excellent. Delivery was days earlier than expected – which was great because I’d used up my last bottle.
I would definitely buy this oil from this seller again. Many thanks!

Lovely smell and a good pain relief
It’s a nice oil to use especially when you have joint pain. I dilute this oil with another lotion cream and rub where I feel the discomfort and it’s good. The smell is good as well.

It does what it says on the tin
Frankly, excuse the pun ! I am stunned at the positive effect wearing this oil has had. I had no idea why I ordered it in the first place and it was only after a couple of days when I googled what it was supposed to do that I realised that it was bang on the nail. Keep up the amazing work ?
Kathryn Carney –

To get the full proper aroma don’t sniff the bottle!
Initially I gave this a bad review. I thought it smelled like disinfectant. However, after a few minutes it mellowed and is actually lovely. I was overly hasty in my judgement. Give it a moment to develop

I love Frankincense for its many healing properties and smell.
I expected just to receive the oil in the post and that would be it, so a lovely surprise to receive a link to a very useful free gift. I’ll be ordering from them again.

Great product
I always keep a bottle of Frankincense by the bedside and carry a bottle in my handbag. This is a great product and good quality at a reasonable price. I use it for swelling in my gums. I apply it before going to bed and in the morning the swelling has completely gone. Have given it to lots of people with toothache and it has helped them (horrible taste but to me, better than cloves) It’s also good on any arthritic nagging pain that I get. I’ve given so many bottles away to people who have need of it!!!
Sunshine –
Excellent quality
This is the first time I have ordered from this seller but will not be the last. I use a great many essential oils for massage, in diffusers and burners. This oil is a very good quality, arrived very quickly and was packaged well. It is always good to find good quality oils and know that you can order quickly if you have need of a specific one. Very pleased ? would definitely recommend.

great quality and amazing customer service
I love the scent of this oil and the quality is great, I’ve used other frankincense oil before but this is by far the best. I make my own facial creams and this oil is just excellent in my mix. Delivery was super fast and their customer service is excellent too. I will buy again for sure.
M. Gale –
Amazing fragrance 100% authentic
Lovely fragrance and exactly as described 100% authentic and the aroma fills the room …but a similar product anywhere else’s and it will cost you at least double the price if not more .. so don’t be ripped off ..buy this it’s superb
