Handcraft Blends Frankincense Essential Oil - Huge 4 Fl Oz

Great strength of fragrance

Fragrance isn't really what I recognize as Frankincense. It's wonderful in a diffuser, though! I use it that way when I clean house.

Works really well. I’m going to buy again. Helped my pain

I purchase a LOT of essential oils from Amazon, from a myriad of different businesses, and I have to write, without a doubt, Handcraft Blends' packaging is above standard, offering excellent protection against leakage and breaking. As is fairly standard, the dropper and the bottle were kept separate. The bottle cap was the standard oil cap with the plastic insert offing a great seal, and the bottle and cap were heat sealed with an outer plastic layer that was easy to remove. The dropper and bottle came packaged in a very tight, solid cardboard box that was thicker than most. There was no leakage whatsoever. Five-star rating: The essential oil itself didn't smell as powerful as a resinous oil should smell. The weaker smell could be because of dilution, volatility, quality, or oxidation. The label indicates no other ingredients, so it wasn't dilution, and the seal was perfect, so not volatility or oxidation. That leaves quality and purity. The color was golden, as it should be, and because of the price, I'm leaning toward quality. That is NOT to say the oil is low-quality - only that it's lower quality than the more expensive brands, which is to be expected, and completely acceptable. NOTE: I also purchased rosehip seed oil, lavender oil, and peppermint oil. While this review is specifically for the frankincense, the review applies to all other oils, with the exception of the lavender oil. The lavender oil is easily on par with the more expensive absolutely distillations, and should probably get a 6th star. Handcraft blends has become my go-to essential oil supplier, with whom I have only two issues: they don't offer the range of essential oils my business requires, and they don't offer the variety of quantities I look for when "trying out" new essential oils or new formulations. I will purchase from Handcraft Blends again. There's something to be said about the care in packaging, especially with larger businesses cutting corners are delivering half-empty bottles without compunction (I'm lookin' at you Gya!). Moreover, I can handle a lower quality essential oil, since I don't use them for their aromatherapeutic properties, especially when it still delivers its natural skincare benefits.

Frankincense is known for its skin tightening properties. I mix it with a carrier oil like almond, coconut, jojoba or even castor oil before using it on my skin or in a lotion. I like the dropper that it comes with and on a full squeeze I was able to get a good 3rd of the amount and it renders over 20 drops so that is truly more than plenty for what I need on a single application. It is clear and has a lovely scent. I do not use it directly on my skin. I use it with a lotion or carrier oil and always test it on my skin first. I love the skin tightening properties and use it with castor oil a lot on my abdominal area. It is a great price for 4 oz bottle. I applied it to my knees and took a pic with and without a flash to show how great it applies to my skin.

It's great when my knees are hurting (it's usually just one knee, but I put some frankincense on both knees - but more on the one that's hurting.) I've used this for several years. I don't need to use it everyday. My knee bothers me maybe a few times a week. I drop some on my knee and rub it in, and I'm good for awhilem

This is my go to product after 30 bottles of various EO. I only had two failures with this company crafted bottles. One was a massive one with the big 16oz peppermint bottle that was weak scented and more oily that messed up my expensive $80 batch of high end CP artisan Christmas candy cane for my craft fair. 20K bars later and this was the first mess I ever encountered. I've never had a failure with Frankincense. I've read other reviews but, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Buy it..I had to send the Eucalyptus oil back out of caution that it was weak but, not because it's bad or spoiled. The scent was not strong enough for a big cold process 15lbs loaf. Sent that one back and wondering where my credit is? Lavender is perfect on the left. That went into the trash! Same batch same everything except What did they do to an EO that's suppose to be 100% pure peppermint distilled. It's NOT!!

I suspect this is not pure frankincense oil. Although it has the typical earthy, woody scent, the sweetness note is not noticeable. Instead, the spicy note is overwhelming, likely a blend of cheaper tea tree or mint oil. I will try to cover it with other essential oils, such as sandalwood. Overall, this is quite different from what I know of frankincense.

Everything is perfect except with the cap extractor. It couldn’t be capped properly causing oil spillage.

I absolutely love this frankincense essential oil. The scent is beautiful, rich but not overpowering, and I find it very soothing for my aching muscles. I mix a few drops with coconut oil and apply it all over my body (avoiding my face), and it works wonderfully. The bottle is a generous size, so it should last a long time. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and will definitely be buying it again.

Wow, chicos, yo padecía de ansiedad y solía fumar mucho. Hoy dejé todos mis vicios y este aceitito me ayuda mucho a estar en calma. Yo me baño, me aplico mi humectante el cual es aceite de coco y pasados unos minutos, aplico un poco de aceitito en mis seis chakras. Divino, se los recomiendo divino.

The smell doesn’t last long. Won’t be buying it again

Lovely smell
