Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Is frankincense essential oil suitable for all skin types?
A: Yes, frankincense is a gentle and versatile oil. Although it excels in the care of mature, dry, wrinkled, or devitalized skin due to its exceptional anti-aging properties, it also benefits combination or oily skin through its mild astringent and purifying effect.
Q: Can frankincense essential oil be applied pure directly onto wrinkles, without being diluted?
A: Applying pure frankincense essential oil directly to the skin is not recommended. Even though it is a well-tolerated oil, its high concentration can cause sensitivity reactions. For optimal anti-aging benefits, always dilute it in a precious vegetable oil.
Q: What does it mean that frankincense oil acts as a "fixative" in perfumery?
A: As a resinous base note, frankincense has heavy molecules that evaporate very slowly. When added to a perfume blend, it helps slow down the evaporation of more volatile notes (such as citrus or floral ones), significantly extending the duration and persistence of the entire perfume on the skin.

Frankincense is a powerful antioxidant, which is why it has anti-aging properties. Prevents dry skin, but should be diluted with another oil, such as olive, coconut or jojoba oils.

I use it along with copaiba oil for arthritis. Although I also follow a treatment, it was only after I started applying this combination that I noticed an improvement. Now my hand is more functional and the pain has decreased significantly.

This oil is good oil at all. A single drop of frankincense essential oil diluted in fractionated coconut oil and massaged around the eyes, helps to maintain their health and diminish wrinkles, dark circles improving the appearance of the skin in general. I recommend.
