About skin & face oil
Why only 6 drops in 30 ml?
Face skin is more delicate, so face oils stay around 1%. That's 6 drops in 30 ml.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, under sunscreen. This routine has no citrus peel oils, so there is no sun wait.
Does it matter how old the oil is?
Yes. Use Frankincense within a year of opening and keep the cap tight. Older oil is more likely to irritate skin.
About meditation & yoga
Is this the same as frankincense incense?
No. Incense is the dried resin, burned. This is the essential oil, diffused in water, so the room fills with scent without smoke or ash.
How many drops are in a bottle?
A 10 ml bottle holds about 200 drops. The blend uses 3 drops of Frankincense per fill.
Is it safe to diffuse around pets?
Diffuse in a ventilated room for 30 to 60 minutes, and make sure your pet can leave the room. Ask your vet first for cats and birds.
About balms, butters & lip care
Can I make a lip balm with it?
Yes. Use half the drops in the same base: 3 Frankincense and 3 Lavender, about 1%.
How long does it keep?
Use it within 6 months. Keep it in a cool, dark place and keep water out of the jar.
About perfume & roll-on blends
Why only 5 drops?
A roll-on sits on the same skin all day, so it stays around 2.5%: 5 drops in 10 ml.
Why only one drop of Ylang Ylang?
It's strong. One drop in 10 ml keeps Ylang Ylang under 1%, which is kinder to skin.
Everything else
Which frankincense is this?
Boswellia serrata, sourced from Ethiopia. It's the essential oil, not the resin you burn as incense.
Can I put it straight on my skin?
No. Mix it into a carrier oil first and patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before.
Which size should I pick?
Most people pick Complete. Routines over $50 ship free, and over $75 they also get a free Eucalyptus. The Starter is the three items one recipe needs; the Collection adds two more.
Do I save when I buy more than one?
Yes, on everything in your cart: 2 items 10% off, 3 to 5 items 15% off, 6 or more 20% off. It's applied automatically.
When does my order ship free?
When the products in your cart come to $50 or more after discounts. A free Eucalyptus is added at $75 and a free Lemon at $95. Shipping Protection doesn't count toward these.
What if I don't like it?
