Bio Elderberry Seed Oil Ultrasonically Infused with Frereana Frankincense is a refined botanical oil crafted with organic elderberry seed oil and carefully infused with Boswellia frereana frankincense resin using ultrasonic infusion technology. This elegant process helps disperse the resinous character of frankincense into the oil, creating a luxurious ingredient for facial oils, body oils, balms, massage oils, ritual beauty blends, and premium anhydrous skincare.
Organic elderberry seed oil is valued in cosmetic formulations for its lightweight, silky texture and naturally occurring fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and unsaponifiable compounds. It provides a smooth, elegant skin feel, making it ideal for formulas designed to support soft, supple, radiant-looking, and well-conditioned skin.
Boswellia frereana, also known as Maydi Frankincense, is one of the most treasured frankincense resins from Somalia. It is known for its refined aromatic profile: smooth, sweet, balsamic, resinous, slightly citrusy, gently woody, and softly spicy. Compared with some other frankincense types, Frereana has a polished, elegant, almost creamy resin character that makes it especially attractive for luxury skincare, natural perfumery oils, ritual oils, and high-end botanical blends.
This resin-infused elderberry seed oil is ideal for brands seeking a rare, sophisticated frankincense oil with both cosmetic elegance and sacred aromatic identity.

Composition & Formulation Notes
This is a Boswellia frereana resin infusion in elderberry seed oil. The producer does not state the infusion ratio or provide a quantified, batch-specific constituent profile in the product description.
- Do not transfer the expected chemistry of frankincense essential oil, raw resin or a solvent extract directly to this infused fixed oil.
- The presence or concentration of boswellic acids and volatile terpenes cannot be inferred without batch analysis.
- The existing information contains broad carrier-oil use ranges but also a 2% leave-on restriction; use the conservative 2% maximum until the supplier confirms otherwise.
- Use the batch COA, SDS and any applicable allergen or IFRA documentation, and test the finished formula.
Applications
- Facial, body and massage oils at a level appropriate to the finished formula.
- Hair and scalp oils.
- Balms, butters and other anhydrous cosmetic products.

These are formulation uses, not therapeutic or spiritual-effect claims. Confirm suitability, stability and regulatory requirements for the intended market and finished product.
