Distilled from the superior gum resin tears of the Indian Frankincense tree (Boswellia serrata), this premium Certified Organic Essential Oil carries rigorous BioGro certification, ensuring exceptional purity and highly sustainable harvesting practices. Distinct from its African counterparts, the Serrata variety from India presents a remarkably bright, woody-fresh top note that seamlessly settles into a sweet, rich, and warm-balsamic undertone. Valued since ancient times for its myriad aromatic and sensory applications, it is a highly versatile and deeply grounding botanical, completely free from synthetic chemicals or pesticides.

In premium cosmetic formulation, Organic Frankincense Serrata is prized for its naturally soothing and balancing properties. It serves as a beautifully functional botanical active in targeted massage blends, restorative body oils, and daily skincare preparations designed to revitalise the skin and promote a calm, clear, and healthy-looking complexion. Beyond topical application, its uplifting and expansive aroma makes it an unparalleled choice for diffusion, actively supporting a tranquil atmosphere, deepening the breath, and fostering a profound sense of inner peace during meditation or quiet reflection.
 
Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: Within a holistic self-care routine, Certified Organic Frankincense Serrata is universally revered for its capacity to calm the nervous system and clear the mind. Diffusing 3–5 drops of this pure, woody-balsamic oil naturally encourages slower, deeper breathing, making it an exceptional companion for yoga, meditation, or finding focus during a busy day. When properly diluted into a comforting massage or facial oil, taking the time to gently work this ancient botanical into the skin transforms a functional bodily care step into a deliberate, grounding ritual that actively honours both your physical comfort and emotional clarity.

Zurma Essential Oils - Highest Quality Pure and Natural

At Zurma we go to great lengths to ensure that we only sell the highest quality pure and natural essential oils. We have searched the world for the best essential oils. Our in-house quality control system ensures that this high standard is maintained for all our essential oils. Every essential oil comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) test to confirm that they are genuine and authentic essential oils containing their correct active constituents.

The only exception to this is with the New Zealand small scale essential oil producers we buy direct from e.g., Lavender, Mānuka, Kānuka, Tea Tree etc. This is because we know and trust these growers who distil their own essential oils.

Finally, all essential oils have to undergo our own in-house smell, appearance and feel test and if they are not up to our high standards, we simply send the product back to the supplier. Based on this quality control process we believe that the 100% Pure and Natural essential oils that Zurma supplies to our customers are of the highest quality and are excellent for use in aromatherapy.
