The healing power and value of frankincense resin are mentioned even in the Bible. It was one of the gifts brought by the Three Wise Men to the newborn Jesus. Symbolically, frankincense connects heaven and earth, deepens and slows breathing, and on a physical level, it is an effective wound healer.
The essential oil is extracted from the resin through steam distillation. Frankincense essential oil is widely used in cosmetics because it is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. It helps reduce signs of skin aging, such as fine lines and sagging. Additionally, it supports skin cell renewal, improves skin elasticity, and enhances skin tone. Due to its soothing properties, frankincense essential oil is well-suited for treating sensitive or irritated skin, helping to reduce redness and minor skin irritations.
