Frankincense plants can grow to 3 to 7 meters. Because they grow in arid and rainless areas with an annual rainfall of less than 100 mm, the trees are small and the leaves are narrow, rough and dry. They bloom white or light pink flowers. The native habitat is in the Middle East (such as Oman and Yemen in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula) and North Africa (such as Somalia and Ethiopia); frankincense is also produced in China and India. The smell of frankincense essential oil is warm and steady, with woody, creamy and slightly lemony flavors; the essential oil is extracted from resin by distillation.
Outstanding efficacy: Frankincense is extracted from resin, and the milky white juice that flows out after the resin cuts the trunk indicates that it turns yellow-brown after air oxidation. In addition to cutting to extract resin, the trunk of frankincense often opens naturally to ooze juice. In any case, these two situations are manifestations of frankincense self-healing (cracks, wounds), which also shows that frankincense resin has extraordinary anti-inflammatory, repairing and regenerative effects.
Frankincense is indeed a famous "rejuvenating" skin care ingredient. The ancient Egyptians have long used it extensively in cosmetics and facial masks to restore youth. Frankincense is also one of the important spices for making mummies. In addition to its sacredness and ability to "transfer and transform souls", it also has good antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Therefore, in skin care, frankincense essential oil is suitable for all skin and conditions that need to "promote cell regeneration", especially aging skin, dry and rough skin, wrinkles (including stretch marks), eye bags, scars, long-term wounds, etc. There is an additional benefit of using frankincense essential oil for skin care, that is, "emotional beauty" - while applying and massaging, slowly smell the warm and lasting scent of frankincense, synchronously organize the skin and mind, and obtain a multiplied skin care effect.
