Ingredients Needed

- Frankincense powder
- Sweet almond oil. Alternative: olive oil
- Vitamin E capsule
Tools Needed
- Glass beaker
- Tablespoons
- Measuring cups

Steps: DIY Frankincense Oil Extract
1- Add 2 tablespoons of frankincense powder to the beaker.
2- Pour 1 cup of sweet almond oil into the beaker.
3- Mix the ingredients well.
4- Open the vitamin E capsule and pour its contents into the beaker. Vitamin E extends the validity of the oil.
5- Mix the ingredients.
6- We will put the mix into a glass jar for storage. But first, we have to disinfect the jar by spraying it with medical alcohol 70%. Then wipe it with a tissue, and let it dry.
Now, we pour the mix into the jar.
7- Cover, but don’t seal the jar and place it in a stainless steel pot of steaming water. When the water cools down, remove the water and refill the pot with steaming water. We will repeat this process for a total of 3 times. Why are we doing this? To speed up the extraction of the frankincense goodies.
Pour the mix in a glass jar 
Put the jar unsealed in a pot of steaming water
8- After this process, seal the jar, wrap it in a towel, and place it in a dark cabinet for 2 weeks.
Every day, take the jar out, shake it a bit, wrap it back up, and leave it in the dark cabinet; do this for 2 weeks.
9- After 2 weeks, the DIY frankincense oil extract is ready to be used.
