Valentia Frankincense Essential Oil 4 Ounce

(Edit): After posting my initial review and rating of 3 stars due to a leaky bottle, Valentia customer service representatives have reached out and apologized, and issued a refund as well as sending me a complementary bottle of lavender essential oil. They have great commitment to customer satisfaction! Thanks.(Original review):Valentia seems like a quality company, priding themselves on using pure ingredients and a positive message. The Frankincense smells good, I could tell that before even opening the package- because about 1/4 of the 4 oz bottle had spilled! They made sure the bottle wouldn't break with lots of padding, and made sure the cap would stay on with a plastic wrap.. But they didn't make sure the cap was actually on tight enough to form a seal. Disappointing, but I guess I'll look at it optimistically as the bottle being 3/4 full.

Frankincense is made from the resin of the Boswellia carterii or Boswellia sacra tree. The tree starts making the resin around the age of 8-10 years old. Frankincense has been used for thousands of years. Currently the top uses are to relieve chronic stress, anxiety, pain reduction, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. I love the sharp tangy almost pine scent the oil give off, it almost instantly causes my muscles to relax and calm my heart rate, especial when I am feeling anxious, nervous or worried. The smell is nice and powerful but not overpowering. The oil is in a dark brown glass bottle which keeps the sun and light off the oil protecting the life of the oil. This only has a threaded cap and no dropper, I do wish it had a dropper.

A couple things worth noting is the simple yet beautiful packaging design and quality of the material. Also the care they take in customer service and satisfaction is remarkable. With that said the smell is a bit sweeter than I recall other Serrata to be. It smells much more like henna or star anise. Although I was told by the owner that certain batches of Serrata vary by climate. The bottle should also come with a dropper because once you tip it to dispense it it drips down the sides and spills all over. Wasting a good amount of the oil. Also the scent doesn't last very long.

First of all I want to thank you for your email. This oil is amazing. I use it every night with my Coconut oil to rub into my neck - back and front...shoulders and behind my ears and it gives me a peace. I don't get bad dreams anymore! Also my hands and I see the age spots fading. I will continue to purchase this from Valentia. I have multiple health issues and will try anything natural to help my pain. If anyone has vertigo, I would like to know if you can put a drop of oil + a drop of coconut oil in your ear to help. I've been telling my friends to buy.Highly recommend!

I love this oil, Me and my wife used it for skin blemishes and old scars and it was amazing to us how much of a difference it made, I would recomend this oil to anyone for its healing affects and soothing feeling and great scent too.!!

Excellent quality product. It works very well for my anxiety, insomnia and sore muscles. I wear it as as perfume. I also mix it with sesame oil for self massage. I received it insulated and protected. No leaks. This is my fifth jar. Customer service sent me out a duplicate bottle free when I did have one that slightly leaked during shipping.

Omg, this frankincense is my beloved holy father, there is no other frankincense I’ve come across that hits the head of the nail....and then some. A splash of this on my temples, forehead and crown of my head does wonders for my sleep at night, I swear, this oil is the way, the truth and the light...and of course goes well with an undiluted myrrh oil to boot 😉
