Frankincense Oil for Face

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 10 reviews

Frankincense Oil for Face offers a luxurious way to enhance your skincare ritual with its warm, resinous scent and refined feel. Distilled from the hand-harvested resin of Boswellia trees, this oil delivers a silky texture and earthy aroma that brings a touch of elegance to facial care routines. 

Often chosen for its ability to add a radiant, smooth-looking finish to the skin, frankincense oil pairs beautifully with lightweight moisturizers and facial serums. Its subtle woody fragrance creates a grounding sensory experience, making it a favorite for both morning and evening skincare moments.

Ready to Use Blend

Our frankincense oil for face is available in a pre-diluted blend that’s gentle enough for direct use on areas like the cheeks, forehead, or jawline. Its smooth, resinous aroma adds a touch of ritual to your skincare routine. It's perfect for layering under moisturizer or using as part of an evening facial massage.

Undiluted - Mix with Carrier Oil

Undiluted frankincense oil is highly concentrated and should always be mixed with a carrier oil before applying to the face. It’s ideal for custom serums and beauty oils that highlight the skin’s natural glow.

How to Mix Frankincense Oil for Face

Blend 1 drop of frankincense oil with a teaspoon of jojoba or argan oil for a lightweight facial oil. For a luxurious serum, add 2–3 drops to a base of aloe vera gel or unscented moisturizer. Apply to clean skin as the final step in your routine, avoiding the eye area.

Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity MattersEssential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances. Scroll down to see its unique downloadable third-party lab test to verify its purity.

We want our essential oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
Wholesale Botanics essential oils are carefully distilled and evaluated to ensure aromatic and therapeutic potency.
