Context of Exodus 30:35

33Whoever mixes any like it, or whoever puts any of it on anyone unauthorized, will be cut off from his people.’” 34Then Adonai said to Moses, “Take the sweet spices—stacte, onycha and galbanum. The spices and pure frankincense are to be in equal measures. Make a fragrant mixture from them, a blend like the work of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. 36You are to beat some of it into powder, and set it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It is to be most holy to you. 37But the incense which you make, with its formula, you are not to make for yourselves. It is to be holy to you, for Adonai.
