How to use

Dilution
Dilute at a percentage of 1% of the finished blend, typically 20 drops or 1ml of essential oil to 100ml of carrier oil. Do not use undiluted on the skin. You can use up to 2% dilution for use on your body or in the bath. Consult your doctor or midwife before using during pregnancy.

Aromatherapy
Immerse yourself in the uplifting yet calming aroma of Frankincense. Add a few drops to your vaporiser of diffuser. Why not try out different blends by mixing with other essential oils?

Skincare
Make your own simple night firming facial serum. Combine 25ml of Raspberry Seed #251 with 5 drops of Frankincense Oil and 5ml of Natural Vitamin E #807. After cleansing your skin, massage a couple drops into your face and neck.

Hair Care
Our Frankincense Oil can be used to restore shine and health to your dull lifeless hair too. Try a hot oil treatment with Argan Oil #228 and Rosemary #108. Combine 2 tablespoons of Argan with 2 drops each of Frankincense and Rosemary and warm in the microwave for a few seconds. Massage into your hair and scalp, cover with a towel and leave for at least half an hour. Wash as normal.

Massage
Add Frankincense Oil to your massage oil blends. Combine with your chosen carrier oil and other essential oils for added benefits. We recommend Sweet Almond #215, Apricot Kernel #204 or Grapeseed #210.

DIY Beauty
Use Frankincese in your homemade lotions, balms, massage bars, creams and body butters.
