Frankincense (Beeyo)

An Authentic Natural Resin with a Distinctive Aroma

Frankincense, known as Beeyo in its region of origin, is one of the best-known natural aromatic resins. Its distinctive fragrance makes it an important commodity in the incense trade. It is also used in perfumery, aromatic products, and certain processes for extracting essential oils and resinous compounds.

Frankincense characteristics vary by grade, depending on tear size, resin cleanliness, sorting, and preparation.

Sorting and Grading

After collection and drying, the resin undergoes sorting, where the tears are separated and classified according to size, cleanliness, appearance, and quality.

This process determines the product’s commercial grade and helps establish its market value and price.

Uses

Chewing

Chewing is one of the traditional uses of Beeyo. It is used as a natural chewing resin, depending on the product type, characteristics, cleanliness, and grade.

Incense and Fragrance

Incense burning is one of the primary uses of Beeyo.

When heated over charcoal or in an incense burner, the resin releases a distinctive aroma used in homes, gathering spaces, celebrations, and various cultural traditions.

Perfumery

Frankincense is used in perfumes and fragrance blends, either as a natural resin or after the extraction of its aromatic components.

Its aromatic compounds contribute a distinctive resinous character to fragrance formulations.

Oils and Extracts

Certain types of frankincense can be processed to extract essential oils and resinous compounds used in fragrance and cosmetic industries.

Incense Blends

Frankincense can be used on its own or blended with other resins and aromatic materials to create different incense formulations.

Understanding the Grades

Not all frankincense tears are equal in size or grade. Classification may depend on:

– Tear size

– Color

– Cleanliness

– Foreign matter content

– Uniformity

– Aroma

– Preparation method

Prices therefore vary from one grade to another, even when the intended uses are similar.
