Buy Elemi Oil
Elemi essential oil is extracted from the Elemi tree, commonly referred to as the Pili tree in the Philippines. Belonging to the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh, Elemi has long been used by locals to promote respiratory health and address skin issues. In Europe, this oil is prized for its rejuvenating effects on the skin.
Extracted through steam distillation of the tree's gum, Elemi oil is known for its ability to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, support healthy skin, and soothe muscles post-exercise. It is widely used in the soap, cosmetic, perfume, and paint industries.
