In-Depth Benefits

SKINCARE (This is WHY it is our best seller)

Frankincense sacra essential oil is ideal for the skin as it contains a wealth of the necessary physical properties that feeds our skin. Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect skin cells. It can be used to help reduce acne blemishes, the appearance of large pores, prevent wrinkles, and it even helps lift and tighten skin to naturally slow signs of aging.

It can help to tone the skin and keep it in good condition as well as fighting against common skin disorders like acne and eczema.

It also promotes the regeneration of new and healthy skin cells while reducing the appearance of scars and other blemishes. It can also help you look more refreshed by reducing the appearance wrinkles that we all have to accept as we get older.

Apply the oil to any area of skin that requires your attention
Dilute it first with another skin friendly carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil 
Perform a test patch to ensure it agrees with your skin
For acne: If you are one of the many people suffering from acne (Adolescent or Adult), simply apply your diluted frankincense oil to your pimples with a cotton pad each evening before going to bed. Many people use frankincense essential oil in its undiluted form without any reaction but take care before using it neat.

The anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties in frankincense oil can help soothe any redness and destroy bacteria. It also has astringent qualities that help tighten the skin and reduce any acne scars that you may be left with.

For wrinkles: Frankincense essential oil is one of the best natural remedies for wrinkles and other blemishes like age spots. It has excellent antioxidant and astringent abilities so just apply your diluted oil directly to your wrinkles and marks once or twice a day and you should notice the difference.

For Scars and Stretch marks: There is no quick fix for scarring but when used over time, frankincense may help at least diminish the visibility of your scars.

You can also add a few drops of frankincense essential oil to your regular lotions and creams or make your own home made recipe.

Dealing with your insomnia naturally is certainly desirable so along with other habitual and lifestyle changes necessary,  diffusing frankincense essential oil at night should provide a calming relaxing atmosphere for a beautiful nights sleep..
