Description
Frankincense (dilute) essential oil is pure frankincense oil pre-diluted in a carrier to make it more accessible and practical for everyday aromatherapy and skin care use. Frankincense essential oil is steam distilled from the resin of Boswellia species trees, primarily Boswellia carterii, Boswellia sacra, and Boswellia serrata. It has been burned as incense and used in religious ceremony for thousands of years across the Middle East, North Africa, and India.
Frankincense essential oil has a warm, rich, woody, and balsamic resinous aroma with fresh, slightly citrus-like top notes and deep, incense-like dry-down notes. The characteristic citrus quality comes from alpha-pinene and limonene content, while the deep, balsamic quality is contributed by sesquiterpenes. The aroma of frankincense is one of the most universally recognised and valued in the world of natural aromatics.
In aromatherapy, frankincense is considered one of the most valuable and versatile essential oils. It is prized for its deeply calming and meditative properties, and is frequently used in blends for anxiety, stress, and promoting deep breathing. In natural skin care, frankincense is highly valued for mature skin preparations, where its toning and regenerative properties are particularly sought after. The diluted form is particularly convenient for direct skin application and everyday use.
Frankincense essential oil is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most applications when diluted. This 10ml diluted bottle is suitable for use in diffusers, oil burners, skin care, and massage preparations. Always dilute further before extensive skin use. Not for internal use.
