Differences in Frankincense Varieties:
The difference between Frankincense Carterii (5ml) and Frankincense Serrata (10ml) is the origin from which they are sourced which is results in a slightly different chemical makeup. Carterii comes from Somalia and is known for its medicinal properties and viscosity. Serrata comes from India and is known for its thinner consistency, spicier scent, and is typically used to treat skin conditions.
Both varieties of Frankincense are 100% pure and the highest quality available. Carterii is more costly due to the larger amount of resin required to produce the same amount of oil as Serrata through the steam distillation process.
