Eco Frankincense is artisan producer of premium frankincense essential oil. Our story is intertwined with the frankincense tree itself. We collect wild-crafted resin from the same farms that have been in the hands of our families for many generations. We produce our natural essential oils locally near the farms in the Sanaag mountains of Somaliland, bringing jobs to the community and contributing positively to the local economy. Frankincense is more than a business for us; it’s family, legacy, and community. 
We built the first frankincense distillery in Somaliland in 2021, and it has since become a point of pride for the entire community. There is a piece of that pride in every bottle that we deliver to our customers.
We are farm-direct supplier, meaning that we control the entire value-chain from the farm to the last-mile delivery to the customer. We lease the farms from which our wild-crafted resin is harvested; produce the essential oil in our own distillery plant near the farms; and distribute product out of our Eden Prairie, MN headquarters. With this model, we eliminate the most critical issues that have been plaguing the frankincense industry, namely:
  • Lack of traceability of the final product
  • Toxins, chemicals, and impurities commonly found in EO
  • Forced-labor epidemic in the frankincense oil production industry
  • Exploitation of farmers and unethical sourcing practices
  • Price uncertainty and high purchasing costs for retailers
  • Supply chain and seasonality issues 
By working with us, our customers benefit from dealing with a U.S. based company in terms of ease of doing business and a common legal framework while taking advantage of our local production which offers them single-point supply chain system, helping them secure fresh supplies year-round. Thus, our value proposition isn't just a better price but a better system that fully hedges against supply chain risks.
