Is this safe for adults to use Frankincense Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For adults, frankincense oil applied to the skin is generally low risk when used correctly. People use it for fragrance or to soothe skin.
✅What to Do
Always mix frankincense oil into a carrier like jojoba, almond, coconut oil, or your lotion before putting it on skin. Try a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid applying the undiluted oil directly to skin, keep it away from eyes, and don’t put it on broken skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medicines, ask your health care provider before use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and rinse if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. Do not eat the oil — there’s limited safety information for eating or using it as a food additive (US Food and Drug Administration). One government review noted it may be harmful to the environment, so avoid pouring large amounts down drains (Environment Canada). If you have asthma or severe allergies, use caution because essential oils can sometimes trigger breathing or allergy problems.
