The Art of Omani Frankincense

By Awadim Team Ingredient October 9, 2025
Deep in the mountains of Dhofar, where the monsoon fog rolls in from the Arabian Sea, the Boswellia sacra tree clings to limestone cliffs and yields one of the world's most treasured resins — Omani frankincense.

For thousands of years, this resin has been harvested by hand, the bark scored with a metal tool called a mengaff. The white-gold tears that weep from the wounds are collected, dried, and traded along the ancient Incense Route.

At Awadim, we source only wild-harvested Omani luban from trusted harvesters in Salalah. Our Frankincense Face Oil preserves this heritage in every drop — a living bridge between an ancient craft and modern skin care.
