Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does this cream feel greasy on the skin?
No. Reviewers consistently describe it as light, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing, with no residue or stickiness left behind. One customer noted it goes on silky smooth and leaves skin nourished without a greasy feel.
How quickly does it absorb?
The cream absorbs quickly into the skin according to multiple reviewers. Customers report applying it after showering and feeling it sink in promptly while still leaving skin nourished and hydrated.
Is the frankincense scent strong?
The scent is present and pleasant, but not overpowering. Reviewers describe it as lovely, divine, and a natural frankincense fragrance, with one noting it is light and does not have an overpowering scent.
Good for sensitive skin?
Yes. One customer who is allergic to almost everything reported this cream works perfectly without any issues. Another noted it is well-tolerated by sensitive, dry skin types.
Does it work well in winter?
Yes. Multiple reviewers highlight it as essential during cold, dry months, with one customer using it for years specifically during winter when all their skin gets very dry, and another noting it is especially good for the skin in winter season.
Can you use it around the eyes?
Yes, the product description states it is safely applied around the eyes. Customers use it as both a day and night cream across the face.
How long until you see results?
Results vary. One long-time customer reported seeing benefits within about a week of consistent use, with improvements continuing. Another noted a substantial change in skin tone and texture within a month.
Is this made with whole frankincense resin?
Yes. The product uses the complete whole oleoresin of Frankincense Frereana, not just the essential oils. The product description explains that whole resin contains therapeutic compounds lost in distilled essential oils, and reviewers specifically appreciate this approach.
This is the Creme that was formerly named Frankincense Rejuvenative Creme. Howver, I had to change the name due to some export restrictions. It is the same creme hundreds of customers have been using for almost a decade.

In the case of Frankincense, the distilled essential oils contain only a small percent of the active compounds in the material, the more volatile and aromatic elements. Many of the plant's therapeutic chemicals are lost after distilling the essential oils. For this reason, I strive to use the whole oleoresin whenever possible.

I believe there is a synergy in a plant in its natural state. By using both the resin and the essential oil, we can experience greater benefits than using either portion on its own.

Now in new, elegant and reusable Airless pumps.

Frankincense Creme Complete is made with Fresh Frankincense Frereana oleoresin, also known as "Elemi Frankincense". Locally it is called Maydi and "The King of Frankincense". The historical and traditional demand for Maydi in Arabia and Africa is so great little of this precious material has been available in the West until recently.

This is a rich, lush creme. It goes on silky smooth with no greasy residue. It is absorbed quickly but leaves the skin nourished, soft and supple. It is safely applied around the eyes and has a lovely frankincense fragrance. No extra fragrance is added.

Made with whole Frankincense Frereana, Organic Jojoba oil, distilled water, emulsifying wax, (made from palm oil), and Vitamin E., and contains "Liquid Germal Plus" a broad spectrum, non-Paraben preservative.

I no longer produce a preservative-free version. After educating myself on the dangers of harmful and unseen bacteria, fungi and moulds which will proliferate within days, even when refrigerated, I could not take the risk. If you would like to make your own preservative-free Frankincense creme, please see the links below.

It is packaged in "Airless pumps" which do not allow air to enter the bottle and help keep the creme sterile. These dispensers operate without a tube and need to be primed before they will produce any creme. To prime, these pumps, press repeatedly and vigorously on the pump head until you feel the resistance of the creme rising up the head. If needed, turn the bottle upside down and press/pump it repeatedly till the creme starts flowing.
