An essential oil distilled from the aromatic resin of the almaciga tree (Agathis philippinensis), a large conifer native to Philippine forests.

Almaciga oil produces a clean resinous aroma with soft pine and incense notes. The scent is often compared to frankincense but tends to feel lighter and more forest-like.

Botanical Origin

Almaciga oil comes from the tree Agathis philippinensis, a large resin-producing conifer native to Southeast Asia and widely found in Philippine forests.

The tree produces a fragrant resin that has historically been harvested for use in varnishes, incense, and aromatic materials.

When distilled, the resin yields an essential oil that captures its clean forest-like aroma.

Extraction

Almaciga essential oil is obtained through distillation of the tree resin.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds contained within the resin. These vapors condense after cooling to form essential oil.

The resulting oil is typically clear to pale yellow and carries the fresh resin scent characteristic of almaciga.

Composition

Almaciga essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• α-pinene
• β-pinene
• limonene
• other resin-derived terpenes

These compounds contribute to the oil’s fresh pine-like aroma and clean resin character.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on harvest conditions and resin maturity.
