Q1. What makes Boswellia serrata different from other frankincense oils?
Earth N Pure Frankincense Essential Oil is made from Boswellia species, including varieties such as Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense). Different varieties have unique aromatic profiles, ranging from fresh and sweet to woody and resinous notes.
Q2. Can I apply pure frankincense oil directly to my face for wrinkles?
Q3. What specific botanical name should I look for on the label?
Look for the botanical name Boswellia followed by the species name (such as carterii, serrata, frereana, or sacra). Earth N Pure Frankincense Essential Oil contains authentic frankincense oil and does not contain synthetic fragrance oils or perfume blends.
Q4. Will frankincense oil help fade dark spots and tighten sagging skin?
Q5. Can I drop frankincense oil under my tongue for anxiety or health benefits?
No, Earth N Pure Frankincense Essential Oil is not intended for ingestion. Avoid placing pure cosmetic or aromatherapy essential oils under the tongue or consuming them. For aromatherapy use, enjoy the aroma through methods like an ultrasonic diffuser.
Q6. Does frankincense oil come in a plastic or dark glass bottle?
Authentic frankincense oil must be packaged in a dark amber or dark blue glass bottle. Essential oils break down plastic over time and degrade rapidly when exposed to light, rendering them ineffective.
Q7. What does genuine frankincense oil smell like?
Real frankincense has a complex, woody, earthy, and slightly spicy aroma with a distinct sweet citrus undertone. If it smells strongly like sweet perfume, heavy alcohol, or artificial candy, it is likely adulterated or synthetic.
Q8. Can Frankincense Essential Oil be added directly to bathwater?
No. Essential oils do not dissolve in water and can contact the skin in concentrated droplets. Use a properly formulated bath base or suitable dispersing product.
Q9. How should Frankincense Essential Oil be diluted for body use?
A general adult body-use starting point is approximately 1–2%, which is about 1–2 drops in 5 ml of carrier oil. Use a lower concentration for sensitive users and facial formulations.
Q10. Can Frankincense Oil be used during meditation or yoga?
Yes. Its warm resinous aroma can complement meditation, yoga, reading or quiet evening rituals when used in a diffuser or personal aroma blend.
