Because wellness should be easy — and a little fun, too.
What does Frankincense smell like and what is it used for?
Frankincense has a warm, earthy, and camphoraceous aroma with subtle woody undertones. It's one of the most versatile essential oils in aromatherapy—used in diffusers for a grounding, comforting atmosphere, in DIY projects like homemade soaps and candles, and topically when diluted with a carrier oil. It blends well with lavender, eucalyptus, bergamot, and peppermint for custom aromatherapy or skincare formulations.
Can I apply Frankincense oil directly to my skin?
No—this is a 100% pure, undiluted essential oil and must be diluted before any topical application. Mix with a carrier oil such as coconut, jojoba, or sweet almond oil before applying to your skin or body. A general starting ratio is 2–3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil. Always perform a patch test before broader use and avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
How do I use Frankincense oil in a diffuser?
Add 3–5 drops to your diffuser with water per your device's instructions. Frankincense creates a warm, grounding atmosphere ideal for meditation, relaxation, or winding down at the end of the day. It pairs beautifully with lavender for a deeply calming blend or with citrus oils for a brighter, uplifting combination.
Are there any safety precautions I should know before using this oil?
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve potency and freshness.
