Really impressed with the packaging and price. Some super fresh tears here too; I had actually hoped they would be a bit older so that they'd be easier to process!

A cloth bag with a drawstring closure with large frankincense tears spilling out of it. A gold-foiled tag with a blind emboss reading "the smokewalkers" describes the frankincense as "Royal Green Frankincense ,hand harvested from ancestral groves, raw tree resin - boswellia sacra, hojari mountains, Oman. The highest grade of frankincense resin. Distinguished by clarity and purity, containing little plant material. Traditionally ingested in water or chewed directly. Also suited for burning or slow infusion." There is also a small tin containing frankincense tears labeled "orange sacra."

Nah. I tend to dump stuff together until I get something I like or store buy. I'm currently on a 7 day work week while also being part time. Before that I was midshift, so sleep/rest are paramount. The homemade stuff is messy and without preservatives, you can only make enough for a couple of days. You can also sub coconut oil for castor oil for a lighter lotion. I just melt the coconut oil in a glass bowl in hot water (glass cleans easier too), and start dumping stuff in until the consistency is something I like. But grinding resins with a mortar and pestle is a LOT of work, unless you wrap in something sturdy enough to pound, first.
