Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What does Frankincense Frereana smell like?
Reviewers consistently praise the scent, describing it as amazing and fragrant. The product description notes it has the familiar Frankincense heart with notes of honey and spices, wrapped in a sensual musk reminiscent of warm animal fur. Many customers note it works beautifully when infused in carrier oils like jojoba oil.
Can I use this in soap and cosmetic recipes?
Yes. The product description confirms it is suited for use as an ingredient in solid or oil-based perfumes, salves, creams, cosmetics, and incense blends. Reviewers report success incorporating it into Frankincense and Myrrh soap, and the description recommends a ratio of 1 part resin to 5 parts carrier oil for creams and skin-care oils.
How do I dissolve this in carrier oils?
The product is a finely ground powder that dissolves readily in warm carrier oils using a water bath, according to the description. Reviewers have successfully infused it in jojoba oil and used it in oil extractions with castor oil and other ingredients.
Is this suitable for incense blends?
Yes. The product description states that since the water-soluble gum has been removed during distillation, it lends itself well to incense blends, burns cleanly with no charred odour, and can be used as a premium ingredient in loose or formed incense.
Can I use this in beard or moustache wax?
Yes. The product description notes that when included in moustache or beard wax, it performs the same as fresh oleoresin, giving great hold and shaping power while lending a distinguished Frankincense fragrance.
Does the product match the description provided?
Reviewers consistently confirm that items received match the shop description and, in many cases, exceed expectations. Multiple customers note the quality is superb and the product is pure, with one reviewer stating it arrives as shown 'and more.'
How fragrant is this resin extract?
Many reviewers emphasize how fragrant the product is and note that a little goes a long way. The product description reflects this, noting that because it is still so fragrant, little is needed to make salves or creams for skin care.
Is this different from Frankincense essential oil?
Yes. The product description explains that this is the pure resin after hydro-distilling its essential oils, and resins have their own distinct aroma which often acts as a fixative. It states resins deliver traditional properties 'much more so than the essential oil alone.'

This lovely-smelling resin has the familiar Frankincense heart with notes of honey and spices and is wrapped in a sensual musk reminiscent of warm animal fur. Though we often assume all the scent in our aromatic plants is found exclusively in their essential oils, resins have taught me that they, too, have their distinct aroma, which often acts as a fixative, anchoring other fragrances.

I have also learned that most tree resins have an affinity for our skin. This could be attributed to the resin's function of healing the tree's skin, but regardless of the reason, resins mixed with a carrier oil leave the skin feeling soft, supple, smooth and just happy.

Since it is still so fragrant, little is needed to make salves or cremes for skin care. A ratio of 1 part resin to 5 parts carrier oil creates a lovely fragrant and skin-loving oil, which can also be used as the oil phase of oil/water cremes.

Included in a Moustache or beard wax, it performs the same as fresh oleoresin, giving great hold and shaping power while "perming" facial hair to the desired shape and lending a distinguished Frankincense fragrance.

In rejuvenative cremes delivers the traditional anti-ageing and skin toning properties associated with Frankincense. Much more so than the essential oil alone.
