Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense is an essential oil that has been in demand since ancient times. From the Ancient Egyptians to traditional Chinese Medicine, Frankincense has an array of benefits which make it a wonderful addition to any treatment.

It has a sweet and spicy scent that adds a freshening note to any blend.

STRESS RELIEF

Frankincense is well known for its mood boosting properties. You can  experience this through a therapeutic massage, but its uplifting effects are best felt by adding it to an essential oil burner. Just a few drops in a burner will fill the room with the calming scent of Frankincense. By breathing this in, the nervous system is calmed whilst at the same time increasing your energy. It is for this reason that Frankincense has been used to assist concentration and aid meditation.

ANTI-AGEING

The rejuvenating properties of Frankincense essential oil make it a key addition to any anti-ageing formula. It is great at improving skin tone, treating ageing skin and reducing scar tissue. In short, it encourages your skin cells to regenerate more efficiently and hydrates your skin, therefore making it more supple and less prone to wrinkling.

Olivia has included Frankincense in many products throughout the Oleo range. If you’re looking to try out its benefits for yourself we’ve listed some recommendations below…

FRANKINCENSE DAY CREAM

This light, moisturising day cream is the perfect daily moisturiser to apply before makeup. An expertly chosen blend of natural plant oils: jojoba, coconut, rosehip, evening primrose and protein-rich soya bean oil work in harmony to nourish the skin and improve your skin tone without leaving a greasy finish.

FRANKINCENSE AND PALMAROSA FACEMASK

Frankincense and palmarosa essential oils are the perfect combination of anti-ageing ingredients. Palmarosa also stimulates cellular regeneration to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tiredness. A facemask is an excellent way to draw impurites from the skin and give it a deeply nourishing treatment.

RICH MOISTURISING HAND CREAM
