100% Pure Frankincense Essential Oil — Anti-Ageing, Cosmetic Grade
100% Pure | Unadulterated | No Dilution | Best Results
Ancient aromatherapy royalty — the most potent natural anti-ageing, skin repair, and meditative essential oil available.
Pure Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia sacra / serrata) is distilled from the aromatic resin of Boswellia trees — the same resin burned as incense in temples and churches for thousands of years. Boswellic acids and alpha-pinene are its primary skin-active compounds, giving it clinically documented anti-inflammatory, skin-regenerating, and anti-ageing properties.
In Indian cosmetics, Frankincense (also known as Shallaki in Ayurveda) is particularly valued as a premium anti-ageing ingredient and for its deeply familiar sacred-incense aroma that resonates with India's spiritual and wellness traditions. It is the premium tier essential oil — priced higher than most others and used in luxury soap, anti-ageing serums, and high-end candles.
KEY PROPERTIES & BENEFITS
Boswellic acids: Anti-inflammatory compounds — reduce skin inflammation, redness, and the chronic low-grade inflammation that accelerates skin ageing
Alpha-Pinene: Antibacterial and skin-tone-evening compound in the essential oil
Skin cell regeneration: Promotes the proliferation of healthy skin cells — speeds healing of scars, blemishes, and sun damage
Cytotoxic to damaged cells: Selectively promotes apoptosis of damaged cells while encouraging healthy cell growth — a key mechanism in its anti-ageing action
Meditative aroma: Clinically shown to modulate limbic brain activity — promotes calm, reduces anxiety, and deepens focus
