Pure Frankincense Essential Oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree, of the Burseraceae family, and is also known as Olibanum.

This oil is the most popular in aromatherapy for its calming properties. It is said when used with a carrier oil to help heal wounds and prevent scars. It is used to tone the face, remove wrinkles, and avoid stretch marks in cosmetic products.

Frankincense essential oil has been used to ease anxiety and stress. It is most useful during meditation. Avoid during pregnancy.
