Frankincense Essential Oil 5% in Grapeseed 10ml

Soft, resinous and quietly ceremonial, this diluted frankincense essential oil brings the atmosphere of warmed incense resin to a small daily ritual. Steam distilled from Boswellia carterii resin and blended at 5% in grapeseed oil, it is made for gentle aromatic use, intention-setting and unhurried moments at home.

The resinous character

• The scent is warm and balsamic, with the dry, golden quality people often associate with frankincense resin.
• Because it is already diluted in grapeseed oil, it feels suited to slow, close-up use rather than a sharp burst of undiluted aroma.
• A few drops can bring a quiet ritual note to a diffuser blend, oil burner or personal aromatic practice.
• The amber-toned bottle and black cap give it the familiar apothecary feel of a small, considered oil.
• It pairs naturally with reflective routines: lighting a candle, tidying a bedside table, or marking the start of meditation.

Boswellia resin, steam distilled

This oil comes from the resin of Boswellia carterii, a tree of the Burseraceae family. The resin is steam distilled, a traditional extraction method that carries the characteristic frankincense aroma into oil form. Here, the essential oil is presented as a 5% dilution in grapeseed oil, making the resinous scent softer and more approachable.

How to use it with care

Use a small amount in an oil burner, diffuser blend, or as part of a personal aromatic ritual. If applying to skin, patch test first and avoid sensitive areas.

Keep essential oils away from children and pets. Avoid use during pregnancy unless guided by a qualified professional, and store the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and direct light.

Frankincense in ritual history

Frankincense, also known as olibanum, has been valued for centuries as an incense resin. In Egyptian ritual life it was burned as sacred incense, and the charred resin was historically ground into kohl, the dark eye cosmetic seen in Egyptian art. A record connected with Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC is among the early references to its use. Across these traditions, frankincense is closely associated with devotion, offering and a sense of ceremonial stillness.
