DIY Frankincense oil extract is a powerful and natural ingredient that can transform your homemade skincare products.
This oil is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree, which is native to the Middle East and Africa. Frankincense oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare, and for good reason. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, making it a popular choice for those looking to elevate their skincare routine.
In this article, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide on how to make your own DIY Frankincense oil extract and how to incorporate it into luxurious and effective homemade skincare products. Whether you’re looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, or simply want to pamper yourself with a spa-like experience, DIY Frankincense oil extract is the perfect ingredient to elevate your skincare game.
Ingredients Needed
- Frankincense powder
- Sweet almond oil. Alternative: olive oil
- Vitamin E capsule
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
Tools Needed
- Glass beaker
- Tablespoons
- Measuring cups
- Whisk
- Glass jar with a sealing cover
- Stainless steel pot
- Towel
- Medical alcohol 70%
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- Now, 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.
