Frankincense has an earthy, uplifting aroma that’s perfect for grounding and spiritual connectedness.

In addition to elevated spiritual experiences, Frankincense oil can help you maintain the appearance of radiant skin.

Young Living sources Frankincense resin from the Boswellia carterii trees located in northern Africa, near the Arabian Peninsula. After the bark is cut back and the sap is released, it is left to harden for up to 3 months. The hardened sap is then harvested, brought to our partner farms in Europe and steam distilled, resulting in pure Frankincense essential oil. This sought-after oil contains the naturally occurring constituent alpha-pinene, which is what gives it its distinctive, rich, balsamic scent that makes it a crucial ingredient in many of Young Living’s well-loved essential oil blends.
