Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Boswellia Neglecta Oil, also known in the Czech Republic as Frankicense Negleta or Black Frankincense, is an essential oil with a very specific, woody and slightly fruity scent. This oil is extracted from the resins of Boswellia neglecta trees, which grow mainly in the Kenyan and Ethiopian regions. It is from these places that it is often imported in order to exploit its substance composition and unique aroma.
The composition of Boswellia neglecta oil is very complex. It contains a number of terpenes, phenols and other chemical compounds that have antioxidant properties and may promote skin health. Due to these properties, it is often used in the cosmetic industry, especially in skin care products. It also plays an important role in aromatherapy, where its ability to counteract stress and tension is exploited. It is also widely used in perfumery for its strong and persistent scent. On its own, the scent of Black Frankincense is effective in combating unpleasant odors and creating a pleasant and healing environment. Other uses are found in the food industry, where it is used for its distinctive flavour, which gives food its unmistakable character.
