Elemi

🌿 THE SOURCE
Elemi comes from Canarium luzonicum, a towering evergreen tree native to the Philippines. It's sometimes called the "pili tree," and surprise — it's in the exact same resin-producing plant family (Burseraceae) as frankincense and myrrh. Same family tree, same resin magic, wildly different level of fame.

🤝 THE YL STORY
Our Elemi is sourced from a partner farm in the Bicol region of the Philippines — a relationship built on Seed to Seal® standards from the very first incision to the final bottle. We helped the farm build its own on-site distillery, which means the oil is distilled close to where it's harvested and supports the local Filipino community that grows it.

📜 FUN FACTS TO IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS
🔸 The name "Elemi" is believed to come from an Arabic phrase meaning "above and below."
🔸 Elemi resin has been used for centuries in incense and traditional practices around the world.
🔸 Its aroma is bright and citrusy with warm, woody, incense-like depth — think frankincense's fresh, energetic cousin.
🔸 The tree's "pili" nuts are edible.

💛 HOW TO USE ELEMI
Add a drop to your favorite moisturizer or facial serum for a spa-like moment, diffuse it for a fresh, grounding aroma during your morning routine, or blend it with citrus and floral oils to create your own signature scent. It's a wonderful addition to your essential oil know-how, especially if you already love frankincense and myrrh and are ready to add another resin oil.

So here's to Elemi: the resin oil quietly doing the work while its cousins Frankincense and Myrrh get all the holiday songs. Let's give Elemi essential oil the spotlight it deserves.
