FAQs
How do I dilute Frankincense Oil for skin application?
A general guideline is 1-2 drops of frankincense oil per tablespoon (15ml) of carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil). Always perform a patch test first.
Can I use this oil for my face?
Yes, it is often recommended for mature skin. Ensure it is properly diluted as per the instructions above and perform a patch test to check for sensitivity.
How should I store the Frankincense Oil?
Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly sealed.
Can I ingest Health Aid Frankincense Oil?
No, this product is for aromatic and topical (diluted) use only. It is not intended for ingestion.
What is the source of this Frankincense Oil?
This oil is derived from Boswellia carteri.
How long does the 5ml bottle last?
Usage duration depends on how frequently and in what quantities it is used. As a concentrated oil, a little goes a long way, especially when diluted.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation after application
Discontinue use immediately. Ensure the oil was properly diluted with a carrier oil before application. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
No scent when diffusing
Ensure the diffuser is clean and functioning correctly. Try adding an extra drop or two of oil. Check that the oil bottle's seal has been properly removed before use.
Oil appears cloudy or discolored
This may indicate a change in temperature or age. While generally safe, optimal performance is with clear, fragrant oil. Store as recommended and use within a reasonable timeframe after opening.
