Our Lavender Infused Frankincense Oil brings together the arid desert of the Middle East with the verdant Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: two very different environments with two treasured oils that complement each other exquisitely.
Blended with coconut oil, this combination is decadently nourishing for your skin, relaxing for your body, & beautifully aromatic for a calm mind. The perfect gift for the holidays, or just a self-care treat for yourself!
Explore the ingredients that make up this special blend:
Sustainably sourced Frankincense essential oil from Somaliland
Frankincense essential oil is created by distilling tiny “tears” of resin from small cuts in the Frankincense tree’s bark. A precious resource, we are proud to only partner with farming communities and distillers who practice responsible and ethical harvesting.
Why Fair Trade?
Sadly, due to high demand, frankincense is being exploited by corporations whose only concern is profit.
Frankincense is not grown on farms, but rather obtained by harvesting communities who live and depend on this resource in deserts where little else thrives. Over-harvesting harms the trees - the farming communities know exactly how to obtain frankincense resin while preserving the environment and its resources for generations to come.
Reserve Lavender essential oil, biodynamically grown in the high French Alps
Only 100 liters of this beautiful, ancient strain of lavender are distilled each year. Grown in the area of Simiane la Rotande, Provence, at 650 meters altitude, the unique terroir and biodynamic growing practices used for this oil create a very special scent, a must-try for lavender connoisseurs: subtly sweet, floral & earthy.
An infusion of Lavender blossoms from Vermont
Our distiller has an organic lavender field near their distillery in Vermont. They macerate blossoms in their Frankincense oil, adding a unique, earthy depth of aroma to the blend that differs from that of distilled Lavender essential oil.
Fractionated coconut oil
Last but not least, we blend the essential oils in a base of coconut oil - it not only acts a carrier (making the essential oils gentle enough for every day topical use), it also works to nourish the skin, sealing in moisture, and opening up so many possibilities for application!
How to use:
Facial Care
Apply to a clean, damp face after your shower or cleansing routine for a hydrated, dewy complexion.
Tension Release
Massage into shoulders, neck and other areas that hold tension or soreness.
Face Sculpting & Gua Sha
Combine with your gua sha routine - the oil's smooth, silky texture allows your gua sha tool to glide easily over your skin.
Preparing for Sleep
Before bed, apply a few drops to your palms and warm the oil by rubbing your hands together. Cup your hands in front of your face and breathe in deeply, hold, then exhale slowly. Repeat as needed.
Relaxing Bath Oil
Add a few drops to your bath water - the coconut oil will help moisturize and condition your skin, while the Lavender & Frankincense will gently diffuse into the air.
Smoothing Hair Oil
After washing your hair, apply a few drops of the oil onto the ends of the damp strands. You can apply to dry hair as well, just be careful not to use too much to avoid an oily effect.
Perfume Oil
Apply a few drops to your pulse points before leaving the house for the day - Lavender & Frankincense make a beautiful, natural personal scent!
