Side effects of Frankincense essential oil include contact dermatitis if it is applied on the skin without being diluted. Therefore, do not apply it directly to the skin or scalp.
Do not use Frankincense essential oil if it has oxidized as it can cause skin sensitization.
Always dilute it with a carrier oil before applying on the skin or hair. We recommend diluting it in jojoba when using it for skin and hair purposes because jojoba has a similar composition to the body’s natural oil.
Always do a patch test when starting to use a new essential oil. Dilute it and apply it to the inside of your elbow and wait for 24 hours to see if you will develop a rash, itchiness or any other sign of an allergic reaction before using it. If you do, do not use it.
All essential oils should be stored away from direct sunlight.
All essential oils oils should be kept away from flames and high heat.
Do not confuse essential oils with fragrance oils since the latter do not have the healing benefits of the former.
Always use therapeutic grade essential oils in order to get the best results from your healing blends.
