How much do I need?

Frankincense essential oil carries the weight of thousands of years of intentional use — and it wears it naturally. 

Steam distilled from the resin of Boswellia carterii, it has a slow, warm, resinous depth that invites stillness and presence in a way that feels both ancient and immediate. 

It is a cornerstone of our collection for good reason: formulators depend on it in anti-aging skin care and luxury serums; perfumers use it as a fixative and base note that bridges and holds a blend; and practitioners of all kinds return to it for the grounding, meditative quality it brings to intentional routines. This is one of the oils that defines what a thoughtful, heritage-rooted collection should feel like.

How to use

Diffuse during meditation, breathwork, journaling, prayer, or nighttime routines to create a calm, centered, and intentional atmosphere.

Frankincense is one of the most historically significant aromatic substances in the world and remains a cornerstone oil in both spiritual and functional aromatherapy. Widely used in natural skin care, particularly in anti-aging and mature skin formulations, where it is frequently included in facial oils, serums, firming creams, and balms when properly diluted.

Commonly added to luxury skin care products targeting fine lines, tone, and overall skin vitality. A popular fixative and base note in natural perfumery, used to slow evaporation, add depth, and bridge resinous and floral notes in complex blends.

Frequently included in spiritual practice blends, anointing oils, and ceremonial formulations across many traditions. Popular in incense-inspired diffuser blends, resin-based candles, and deep relaxation products.

Used in grief, anxiety, and emotional support blends for its steady, grounding character. Can be added to linen sprays, bath blends, and body oils for an intentional, elevated aromatic experience.

Caution

Skin sensitivity may occur. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to the skin. Keep out of reach from children. If pregnant or breastfeeding please ask your doctor before use.
