Description
Handcraft Blends Frankincense Essential Oil is a 100% pure and natural, steam-distilled oil made from Boswellia serrata sourced from India. Its earthy, woody, and resinous aroma works well in compatible diffusers, layered home-fragrance blends, soaps, candles, perfume oils, and properly diluted topical cosmetic formulas.
Indian Frankincense Essential Oil for Diffusers & DIY Fragrance
Frankincense Essential Oil has a warm resin character with dry, earthy, and woody notes. The concentrated aroma can be used on its own when a distinctive resin scent is preferred or combined with citrus, floral, spice, and wood essential oils.
Use Handcraft Blends Frankincense Essential Oil in small, measured amounts. Begin with a low drop count in diffuser and scent formulas, evaluate the aroma after it disperses, and add more only when additional intensity is wanted.
Benefits & Features of Frankincense Essential Oil
- Earthy, woody resin aroma – Adds depth to compatible diffusers and home-fragrance blends.
- 100% pure and natural – Contains frankincense essential oil without an added carrier oil.
- Boswellia serrata – Made from the botanical species listed for this product.
- Steam distilled – Produced using the stated extraction method.
- Useful in layered scent blends – Pairs with citrus, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, and other complementary notes.
- Suitable for DIY fragrance projects – Can be measured into compatible candles, soaps, perfume oils, and scented cosmetic formulas.
Earthy Frankincense Aroma for Diffusers & Home Scenting
Add Frankincense Essential Oil to a compatible diffuser according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Start at the lower end of the suggested drop range and allow its woody resin aroma to disperse before adjusting the intensity.
Frankincense has a deeper scent profile than many citrus or floral oils. Pair it with lemon or bergamot for fresh contrast, lavender or geranium for a floral layer, or sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver for a fuller wood-and-resin composition.
Frankincense Essential Oil for Soap & Candle Making
Use Frankincense Essential Oil to introduce an earthy, resinous fragrance to compatible soaps, candles, wax melts, and other scented projects. Check the recommended fragrance rate and temperature guidance for the selected wax, soap base, or cosmetic formula.
Prepare a small test batch before scaling the recipe. Heat, wax, soap, and other ingredients can influence the final aroma, so weigh or measure each component carefully and evaluate the finished project before producing a larger quantity.
Frankincense Essential Oil for Perfume & Body-Oil Blends
The woody resin character of Frankincense Essential Oil makes it useful as a deeper note in compatible perfume oils and scented body oils. Add it gradually so it complements lighter citrus, floral, or herbal notes without dominating the completed fragrance.
For topical cosmetic use, always dilute frankincense essential oil in jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut, or another compatible carrier oil. Follow an appropriate dilution for the intended user, application area, and finished formula.
Why Frankincense Works Well in Layered Scent Blends
Frankincense contributes an earthy base with woody and resin-like facets. These deeper notes can give a custom fragrance more depth while connecting fresh top notes with floral, herbal, spice, or wood aromas.
Build the blend one drop at a time and record each quantity. Test the aroma on a scent strip or in a small diffuser blend before incorporating it into a larger candle, soap, perfume-oil, or home-fragrance project.

View report (PDF)How to use
Frankincense Essential Oil has a warm, resinous aroma that’s valued in both aromatherapy and beauty routines. When properly diluted, it can be used in scalp and skin care blends to support healthy-looking hair and a smoother, more refreshed skin appearance.
-
Diffuse frankincense essential oil using about 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water to create a calming, grounding atmosphere. Its rich scent helps promote relaxation and balance, making it ideal for daily aromatherapy.
-
For hair care, always dilute frankincense essential oil in a carrier oil. A typical dilution is up to 1–2% — roughly 6–12 drops per ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil. Gently massage the diluted blend into the scalp to support circulation and help hair feel stronger and smoother over time.

Trusted by +500k customers around the world
Customers praised the oil's versatility for pain relief, skincare, and aromatherapy. Many reported effectiveness for knee, back, and joint pain when mixed with carrier oils. "Great for age spots" and wrinkles. The scent received mixed feedback - most loved it, but some found it "musty" or "off." A few noted packaging issues with dropper caps leaking. Great value for price.

Excellent essential oil. The scent is pure and calming. Perfect for aromatherapy or skin use (when diluted). Nice packaging and the dropper makes it easy to use. Very happy with the quality.
M
Delicious relaxing oil, it really helps, and you don't need to put much in. I apply it to my feet and neck before bed and I rest like a baby.
A
Never sampled that scent. Very Intresting aroma. Would recommend to users of aroma therapy.
T
I like that the bottle and dropper were separate so there was no leaking. It comes in a nice, glass amber bottle to protect the integrity of the oil. However, it wasn't quite as strong smelling as I had hoped. I use a bit with my castor oil for my face before bed and I also make my cleansing spray with Frankincense, water, alcohol and sometimes I add other essential oils depending on what I'm feeling that day. I use the spray to wipe down doors and around doorways and really any space I want mental clarity and calming.
K
I specifically ordered this because it said the dropper was included.It did not come with it. Other than that product is fine.
S
I have been searching for a good inexpensive quality of essential oils for some time. This company has great quality oils affordable priced and unlike some others they package them with care. I will update the review in a month or two with my results from using this frankincense oil -

This comes in a plastic sealed box and the bottle's cap is a breakaway plastic ring. Frankincense has earned its title as The King of Oils because of its versatility. When used topically, frankincense touts powerful anti-aging properties though I don't think there are enough studies to really conclude how effective it is. Topically (diluted with a carrier oil) it can help reduce body aches and acne. My husband gets ankle pain so I can't wait to blend up a lotion for him to rub on the next time it hurts. I have read great things about it relieving various pains from bruises, aches and even restless legs (and for joint pain when mixed with Lemongrass). It is great for soaps, too. I do wish the box or bottle had an indication of extraction method just for confirmation. I haven't used Frankincense before so I'm excited to add this into my oil collection. Oh, and I love this company is based n my home stateTexas! CAUTION: The one thing I would caution here is make sure you understand essential oil usage. I would highly recommend you do not apply this to skin without diluting it in some kind of oil (jojoba, almond, coconut--whatever oil you like) or aloe vera, etc first. Oils can cause reactions and more so when used "neat" straight out of the bottle. If you have never used essential oils before, I suggest you do a little research online to find oil dilution ratios before using this product (which I believe typically the max is 3 dilution for Frankincense). Oils are natural but one must remember they are highly concentrated and it is not the same as one leaf or sprig of a plant. May create side effects in pregnant women. Please do not ingest. TIPS: You can use this in an oil diffuser, too, to help relieve stress, immune assistance and reduce pain. You can pair it with citrus oils like Lime, Lemon, and Wild Orange, and other oils such as Rosemary, Cypress, Lavender, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, and Clary Sage for diffusion.
