“Frankincense is not just a scent, it’s a centuries-old ritual in a bottle, a gift from the earth that heals, grounds, and renews.” - Earth Essentials by Erica
Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years, and for good reason. This powerful resin is a staple in natural skincare and holistic wellness, known for its deep healing properties, anti-aging benefits, and spiritually grounding aroma.
At Earth Essentials by Erica, we slow-infuse organic Frankincense resin into nourishing oils and also offer high-quality, organic Frankincense essential oils as part of our offerings. These small-batch creations are crafted to support both skin and spirit. Whether you’re seeking radiant skin or a grounding ritual, Frankincense is a timeless staple in any natural skincare routine.
The Ancient History of Frankincense Resin
Frankincense comes from the sap of the Boswellia tree, native to dry, mountainous regions like Somalia, Oman, and India. For over 5,000 years, it has been used in Egyptian beauty rituals, Ayurvedic medicine, and religious ceremonies.
It was once so valuable it was traded like gold. Ancient Egyptians used it for skin rejuvenation and spiritual purification. Today, modern herbalists and natural skincare enthusiasts are rediscovering its timeless benefits, especially when it comes to aging skin, inflammation, and emotional grounding.
What Is Frankincense Oil? Types and Skin Benefits
Boswellia Carterii Soft, citrusy, and deeply skin-loving—this is one of the most commonly used varieties in facial oils and serums thanks to its gentle, rejuvenating properties.
Boswellia Serrata More earthy and herbal in aroma, this type is often used in massage blends and wellness oils for joint and muscle support.
Boswellia Frereana Known as the “king of Frankincense,” this variety has a smooth, warm, and slightly spicy scent. It’s less resinous and more aromatic, often favored for emotional balance and high-end natural perfumery.
Why Choose a Frankincense Resin Oil Infusion?
Unlike essential oils, which are steam-distilled, a resin infusion involves gently slow-infusing Frankincense resin in a carrier oil over months to extract its full spectrum of healing compounds.
At Earth Essentials by Erica, we create a Frankincense Resin Herbal Oil by slow-infusing organic Boswellia resin into golden jojoba oil. This method:
Preserves the rich, resinous scent naturally, no essential oil needed
Offers deep nourishment for damaged skin
Supports emotional balance with its grounding aroma
It is considered gentle and non-irritating, even for sensitive skin
Many of our customers love using it as a face oil, spot treatment for scars, or even as part of their evening wind-down ritual.
How to Use Frankincense Resin Oil or the Essential Oil in Your Skincare Routine
Frankincense oil is incredibly versatile. Here are a few ways to incorporate it:
As a facial oil – Apply a few drops to clean skin after toning, especially in the evening.
For scars and fine lines – Massage into areas needing extra care.
For spiritual rituals – Use during meditation or before bed to calm the mind.
In body care – Blend with your favorite body butter or body oil for all-over nourishment.
