 🌿 Frankincense Dalzielii: An Ancient Resin with Modern Skin Benefits

Not all frankincense is created equal—and if you haven’t met Frankincense dalzielii, let me introduce you to one of the lesser-known treasures of the Boswellia family. Native to the dry hills of West Africa, this particular species offers a powerful blend of aromatic beauty and skin-soothing potency that’s right at home in natural skincare.

Let’s dig into what makes this resin so special—and why I’ve chosen to infuse it into oil for your skin.

🌳 What Is Frankincense Dalzielii?

Frankincense dalzielii is a resin tapped from the Boswellia dalzielii tree, which grows wild in Nigeria and neighboring regions of West Africa. It’s similar to the more commonly known Boswellia carterii, but with a sharper, more peppery aroma and an exceptionally high level of natural compounds that support skin health.

When the bark is cut, the tree releases resin as a protective mechanism. That same resin, once collected and gently processed, can offer those same protective, restorative qualities to our skin.

✨ Skin Benefits of Frankincense Dalzielii Infused Oil

1. Calms Irritated Skin
Frankincense dalzielii contains natural compounds that may help reduce the appearance of redness, dryness, and rough texture. It’s especially helpful for skin that’s feeling wind-beaten, sun-worn, or just plain tired.

2. Promotes a More Balanced Complexion
When infused into a skin-friendly carrier like jojoba oil, this resin supports a more even-toned, resilient complexion. Jojoba is already very similar to our skin’s natural sebum, and when paired with this ancient resin, the two make a deeply nourishing combo.

3. Subtle Aroma Therapy
While this isn’t an essential oil, the infusion captures the soul of the resin—its dry, woody, slightly spicy scent. The aroma is grounding and centering, often used for emotional support during times of stress or mental fog.

4. Antioxidant Support for Mature Skin
Many of the components found in this resin are naturally antioxidant-rich, which makes it a lovely addition to routines focused on mature or dry skin. It can help support your skin’s ability to look and feel smooth, supple, and well cared for.

🧴 How The Magic Starts

I take whole Frankincense dalzielii tears and grind to a coarse powder then slow-infuse into golden jojoba oil using a warm water bath method—never overheating or rushing the process. Then let it rest for four weeks. The result is a richly aromatic, skin-loving oil that’s gentle enough for the face, yet nourishing enough for dry areas like the neck, chest, or hands.

🌞 In Summary

Frankincense dalzielii might not be the most famous variety, but it’s a powerful ally when you’re looking for natural skin support, ancient herbal wisdom, and a deeply grounding experience in a bottle.

Whether you're seeking calm skin, a peaceful scent ritual, or simply something special made with care—this infused oil may become a quiet favorite in your daily ritual.
