Discover this botanical resin, used since ancient times to help us relax—reimagined in a modern-day formulation by anatomē.
Evening brings an invitation to pause, yet many of us carry the overstimulation of the day into the hours meant for rest. The flicker of screens, the pace of thought, the quiet buzz of hyperconnectivity—all linger, long after the lights go out.
At anatomē, we turn to one of the most time-honoured botanicals to help restore stillness: Somali Frankincense. Harvested from Boswellia trees in arid landscapes, this dry, amber-toned resin has been used for centuries across spiritual, intellectual, and medicinal traditions. Its presence is steadying, its scent clear and contemplative—offering a bridge between breath and calm.
Frankincense forms the foundation of our Sleep Sensory Point blend, a complex formula composed of more than 20 essential oils, each selected for their ability to soothe the nervous system and prepare the body for deep rest. Among them: Rose Absolute Maroc, known for its emotional resonance; Blue Tansy, with its balancing touch; and Melissa, Clary Sage, and Roman Chamomile, all valued for their calming properties.
Together, they create a blend that clarifies without stimulating, grounds without sedating. Led by Somali Frankincense, this formulation helps quiet the mental residue of the day and ushers in a more composed, replenishing sleep cycle—ritualised, botanical, and deeply intentional.
A Botanical for Rest
We created the Somali Frankincense Sleep Oil to act as an anchor in your evening ritual.
