FRANKINCENSE OIL for Skin | Organic Boswellia sacra

At Sacred Plants Australia, we are deeply committed to ethical and sustainable sourcing, ensuring that every drop of our Frankincense Oil upholds the highest standards of purity, environmental care, and cultural respect. The harvesting of Frankincense resin is a delicate process, and we work exclusively with trusted suppliers who prioritise the long-term health of Boswellia sacra trees and the communities that rely on them.

Sustainable Harvesting Practices

The Boswellia sacra trees that produce our Frankincense resin are over 500 years old and grow in the Dhofar region of Oman, near the coast of the Arabian Peninsula. This region is renowned for producing the highest-grade Frankincense in the world. Our resin is sourced through responsible and regenerative harvesting methods, ensuring the trees are not over-tapped, which is vital for their survival and continued resin production. By allowing trees ample time to recover between harvests, we help maintain the delicate balance of the ecosystem and ensure future generations can continue to benefit from this sacred plant.

Supporting Indigenous Harvesters

We work directly with skilled harvesters whose families have tended these trees for centuries, passing down their ancestral knowledge of sustainable resin collection. Our partnerships ensure that these communities receive fair wages and ethical working conditions, supporting their livelihoods while preserving traditional harvesting techniques. By choosing our Frankincense Oil, you are directly contributing to the well-being of these artisans and the preservation of their cultural heritage.

Environmental Responsibility

Sacred Plants Australia prioritises sustainability at every stage of production. Our Frankincense Oil is crafted using organic MCT Coconut Oil as a carrier, ensuring a pure and natural extraction process without harmful additives. We use glass dropper bottles to reduce plastic waste, and our packaging is designed with eco-conscious materials to minimise environmental impact.

By honouring traditional harvesting methods and prioritising ethical sourcing, our Frankincense Oil embodies a deep respect for nature, the trees that provide this sacred resin, and the people who have nurtured this tradition for generations.

When you choose Sacred Plants Australia’s Frankincense Oil, you are supporting a legacy of sustainability, purity, and cultural reverence.

The creation of Frankincense Oil begins with the careful selection of the finest Boswellia sacra resin. The resin, harvested sustainably from Boswellia sacra trees over 500 years old, is sourced from the Dhofar region in Oman, known for producing the highest-grade Frankincense resin in the world.

At Sacred Plants Australia, we take great care in producing our Frankincense Oil. Hand-selected resin pieces are slowly dissolved in organic MCT Coconut Oil using gentle heat and continuous stirring. This process ensures that the essential compounds, including the sought-after Boswellic Acid, are preserved. Unlike regular steam-distilled Frankincense oils, which do not capture this powerful molecule, our method ensures a full-spectrum oil that retains the remarkable anti-inflammatory properties of Boswellic Acid.

After the dissolution process, the oil is carefully filtered, leaving behind a beautifully refined oil with high medicinal value. The result is a potent oil that is both safe for topical use and suitable for ingestion, offering exceptional health benefits.

Frankincense Oil from Sacred Plants Australia is renowned for its rich, pure fragrance that evokes a sense of peace and reverence. The aroma is fresh, with citrusy top notes that blend harmoniously with the deep, resinous base that is characteristic of the finest Boswellia sacra resin.

This makes it not only ideal for meditation and spiritual rituals but also a beautiful addition to any wellness or self-care routine.

Frankincense Oil from Sacred Plants Australia is ready to use and already blended with organic MCT Coconut Oil, making it easy to incorporate into your wellness routine.

• Aromatherapy: Since the oil contains MCT Coconut Oil, it’s not recommended for use in a diffuser. Instead, focus on its topical and internal uses for maximum benefits.

• Topical application: Apply Frankincense Oil directly to your skin. The MCT Coconut Oil base ensures it is non-comedogenic and won’t clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types. It helps soothe inflammation, promote skin regeneration, and relieve muscle tension.

• Massage: For a soothing massage, apply Frankincense Oil directly to the skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of Frankincense Oil can help ease joint and muscle pain, while the calming aroma promotes relaxation.

• Inhalation: For mental clarity and stress relief, inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or add a drop to a handkerchief. This can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and elevate mood.

• Bath: Add a few drops of Frankincense Oil to your bath water to enjoy its therapeutic benefits in a full-body soak. This can help relax sore muscles, calm the mind, and support skin health.

• Internal use: Frankincense Oil is already safely diluted with MCT Coconut Oil and is ready for internal use. It can support immune health and digestion. Be sure to follow safety guidelines and consult a healthcare professional before ingesting.

• Spiritual practices: Frankincense Oil has been used for centuries in spiritual ceremonies, rituals, and prayer. Apply it to your pulse points, or anoint your third eye or temples to enhance focus and connection during meditation, shamanic journeys, or spiritual rituals. Its purifying properties can help create a sacred space, promoting a sense of clarity and divine presence.

• Manifestation and intention setting: Use Frankincense Oil to amplify your intentions. Anoint your hands or a candle with the oil before focusing on your desires, whether it's personal growth, healing, or manifesting a new beginning. The oil can help create a heightened state of awareness and a stronger connection to your spiritual goals.

• Energy clearing: Frankincense Oil can be used to clear negative or stagnant energy from your environment. Place a few drops in a bowl of water and leave it in a room to purify the space. It can also be used in energy healing sessions or rituals to help cleanse and uplift the energetic field.

While Frankincense Oil is generally safe for most individuals, it's important to follow a few key precautions to ensure its proper and safe use.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with a healthcare professional before using Frankincense Oil, as essential oils can sometimes have strong effects on hormonal levels.

• Skin sensitivity: Although Frankincense Oil is diluted with MCT Coconut Oil and generally safe for topical use, it’s always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the oil extensively. This will help ensure that you don’t experience any adverse reactions or sensitivity.

• Internal use: Frankincense Oil is ready for internal use, but it’s essential to follow the recommended guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional before ingestion, especially if you are on medication or have underlying health conditions.

• Allergies: If you have known allergies to nuts or coconut, it’s important to be aware that MCT Coconut Oil is derived from coconuts, so you may want to avoid using this oil or seek advice from a healthcare professional.

• Avoid direct contact with eyes: As with all essential oils, avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes or mucous membranes. If the oil comes into contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with a carrier oil, such as MCT Coconut Oil, rather than water.

• Children: While Frankincense Oil is safe for most adults, its use on young children should be approached with caution. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils with children.

• Underlying health conditions: If you have any chronic health conditions, particularly involving the skin, respiratory system, or immune system, consult with a healthcare provider before using Frankincense Oil, either topically or internally.

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Frankincense Oil, proper storage is key.

• Storage: Keep your Frankincense Oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Exposure to light and heat can cause the oil to degrade and lose its therapeutic properties. The blue glass dropper bottle helps protect the oil from light, and the black Mylar pouch further ensures its protection, making it ideal for storing in a dark place for optimal preservation.

• Sealing: Ensure that the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air from entering, which can also contribute to oxidation and reduce the oil's potency.

• Shelf Life: When stored correctly, Frankincense Oil has a shelf life of approximately 12 to 18 months. Over time, essential oils can lose their potency, so it's best to use the oil within this period to experience its full benefits.

• Avoid contamination: Always use clean hands or a dropper when handling the oil to avoid contaminating it with bacteria or other substances. This helps preserve the purity of the oil.

• Refrigeration: While refrigeration is not required, storing your Frankincense Oil in a cool place will extend its shelf life, especially if you live in a warm climate.
