Pure Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense doesn't come from a flower, a leaf or a peel. It comes from resin. Growers cut the bark of Boswellia trees, the tree seeps a milky sap to seal the wound, and the sap hardens into pale lumps called tears over a few weeks. Those tears are collected and steam distilled into oil. 

The scent follows from that. It's warm, dry and resinous, a little like incense smoke without the smoke, with a faint citrus brightness on top. People who expect something sweet or floral are usually surprised by how clean it smells. 

Frankincense has been traded for thousands of years and still carries strong associations with ritual, incense and meditation. That's why it shows up so often in quiet-room diffuser blends and in facial oils, where its thick, resinous character pairs well with lighter florals. 

Ours is 100% pure oil in an amber glass bottle, which slows the oxidation that light causes. Nothing is added and nothing is diluted.

Our Frankincense essential oil provides powerful therapeutic properties for the mind, body, and soul.

Diffuser: Three to four drops per 100 ml of water. Frankincense is a base note, so it comes through slowly and lingers. Many people blend it with lemon or orange to lift it, or with lavender and cedarwood for something quieter. 

Facial oil: Add 1 to 3 drops to 30 ml of jojoba, rosehip or argan oil. That's about a 0.5 to 1% dilution, which suits face skin. Patch test first, then use it at night. 

Body and massage oil: Six to twelve drops per 30 ml of carrier oil, a 1 to 2% dilution. 

Meditation and yoga: One drop of diluted oil on the inside of each wrist, or a drop on a tissue nearby. Don't apply it neat. 

Blending: It works with sweet orange, bergamot, lemon, lavender, cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli and rose.
