Frankincense Oil For Skin

Rated 4.6 out of 5
Based on 13 reviews

Frankincense oil is one of the oldest oils in use today for enhancing the skin’s natural beauty and uplifting your mood throughout aromatherapy. It has a woody, earthy, and rich aroma that can contribute to a peaceful environment.

When it comes to using frankincense oil for skin, it's known for its supportive properties that help maintain the appearance of vibrant skin. Many users also find that frankincense oil supports the appearance of balanced skin. Overall, frankincense oil is a great tool that may help you maintain beautiful-looking skin.

Ready to Use Blend

Frankincense oil is available in a ready-to-use blend that is pre-mixed with carrier oils so you can apply it directly to your skin. As the blend is ready for use right out of the bottle, you don't need to dilute the oil further. 

If you want to use a ready-to-use blend we recommend mixing one to two drops of the oil with your skincare products. You can also add a few drops to a washcloth to create a facial steam.

Undiluted - Mix with Carrier Oil

Undiluted frankincense oil is also useful for skin care applications. Before applying it to your skin or hair, you'll need to mix it with a carrier oil, lotion, or other skin care or hair care product. 

When using undiluted frankincense oil for skin, a good ratio to follow is a blend of 1-2% undiluted frankincense oil for your face and 3-5% for the rest of your body.

How to Dilute Frankincense Oil for Skin

Mix 1–2 drops of frankincense essential oil with a teaspoon of carrier oil like jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil to create a nourishing, skin-friendly blend. Gently massage into clean, dry skin as part of your daily routine, and don’t forget to patch test before use.

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.
