Church incense made from frankincense
Church incense is mainly produced from Boswellia resin (the incense tree). In this case it is Boswellia papyrifera from Eritrea or Ethiopia (and sometimes Sudan).
The resin is sorted, coloured and sometimes perfumed with essential oils. The mixtures are then compounded, and wood or flower extracts are usually added.
