A rarer Frankincense resin endemic to the island of Socotra. Harvested in small sustainable quantities and as such limited in availability.
Socotran Frankincense is similar to the Boswellia frereana from Somalia. It is an oleoresin with very little gum. The Socotri's don't use the resin therapeutically. It's only used for incense. It is very rare due to the fact that there are only a few bedouins left harvesting this resin very irregularly. This type of resin fully dissolves when heated due to the fact that there is close to no gum in the resin. Also the drops are small and almost completely dissolve when put into carrier oils.
