Why Use Frankincense in a Face Cream?

By promoting cell generation and fighting inflammation, boosting skin health and reversing the “normal” signs of aging, frankincense has earned the title of “King of Oils” in the aromatherapy community. Applied topically it can improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and other outward skin conditions, and it can be used to make a natural perfume or cologne.

But that's not all…

Frankincense is one of the oldest and most versatile essential oils on the planet. Frankincense oil comes from the resin of 4 different types of trees which grow in northeastern Africa and along the Arabian Peninsula. The resin used to produce frankincense oil is very aromatic and is used in incense and perfumes. It is widely used in religious and cultural ceremonies; frankincense reduces stress, fights inflammation, improves the digestive process and can help physical wounds and scars heal quickly.

Sweet Almond Oil is one of the most popular carrier oils because of it's smoothing, nourishing, and moisturizing properties. It is a must in many DIY face cream recipes.

Coconut oil is protecting and great for most skin types as well.
