ABOUT US - Aura Cacia was founded 38 years ago on pure essential oils and true aromatherapy benefits. We partner with suppliers to source high quality botanicals and rigorously test every batch to ensure purity. We then provide premium products with consumer safety at the forefront. And importantly, Aura Cacia is part of a member owned co-op that puts people and planet ahead of profits. PURITY TESTING AND RECOMMENDED USES - Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) testing is the primary way to ensure an essential oil is an unadulterated, true botanical. Every batch of Aura Cacia essential oils is GC/MS tested. This product is vegan and cruelty-free. ORGANIC OIL - Organic essential oils differ from conventional oils in that the botanicals from which they are derived are grown according to the USDA’s Organic Standards. Our manufacturing facility and all of our organic essential oils have also been certified organic by the established third-party certifier, Quality Assurance International (QAI). ORIGIN AND SOURCING - Aura Cacia Frankincense Essential Oil is sustainably sourced from the Boswellia sacra tree in Somalia. DEEPLY BALSAMIC AND COMPLEX - Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) essential oil is regarded as a peaceful and connecting essential oil that is beneficial to the whole person — body, mind and spirit. It has long been associated with skin care and potent topical applications, spiritual rites and rituals, and seasonal usage.
