2000 + Years of Frankincense Tradition and History

A Heritage Rooted in Frankincense and Global Trade

Cal Madow mountains, Sanaag icon Cal Madow, Sanaag, Somaliland

For over two millennia, Somali frankincense has been at the center of global commerce—from supplying Egyptian pharaohs to trade across the Indian Ocean. Harvested in Sanaag and Bari, these resins have shaped cultures, rituals, and economies. Today, Desert Resin carries this legacy forward through ethical sourcing and sustainable supply for modern markets.
