The essential oil is extracted from the resin through steam distillation. Frankincense essential oil is widely used in cosmetics because it is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. It helps reduce signs of skin aging, such as fine lines and sagging. Additionally, it supports skin cell renewal, improves skin elasticity, and enhances skin tone.
