What’s the Difference Between Frankincense Serrata and Carterii? The differences between all Frankincense Essential Oils (for there are four!) are difficult to pinpoint. All of them offer very similar aromatic and cosmetic uses, though with differing chemistry. The primary difference lies in the aroma.

• Frankincense Carterii: This is the most well-known and commonly used Organic Frankincense Essential Oil. Frankincense Carterii has an intoxicatingly smooth, relaxing aroma that is deep, rich, and grounding. It is particularly prized for supporting the appearance of healthy-looking, revitalized skin and can be used in serums or creams for the face.
• Frankincense Serrata: The aroma of Organic Frankincense Serrata is more sweet and delicate than other types of Frankincense, with a hint of pine. It is often chosen for its softer aromatic profile and is commonly used in massage blends for joint comfort and mobility.*
