Frankincense 5% (in Grapeseed) 10 ml — Steam‑Distilled, Incense‑Quiet Glow

Resin smoke and desert dawn—old temple hush in a gentle anointing oil.

A ready‑to‑use dilution of frankincense (Boswellia carterii) at 5% in grapeseed oil. Steam‑distilled from sacred resin, the aroma is lemon‑resinous with soft incense wood and a meditative, golden hush. Beautiful for pulse points, breath-steadying massage, and evening rituals (always patch test). Not suitable for water‑based diffusers due to the carrier oil.

Frankincense in carrier oil is often chosen to lend a serene, skin‑comforting feel to facial or body oils. It’s a classic companion for quiet moments—used sparingly to encourage ease, steady the breath, and soften the edges of a long day.
