Frankincense Essential Oil Ointment (Ancient Egyptian Balm)

A traditional balm inspired by Ancient Egyptian beauty rituals

Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years in Ancient Egypt for its role in beauty, purification, and daily body care. Our Frankincense Essential Oil Ointment honors this tradition with a modern yet historically inspired balm designed for skin and hair care. [scentsofthegods.com]

This ointment is a solid, anhydrous balm—free of water and crafted with oils, butters, and beeswax—allowing it to protect, soften, and condition wherever it’s applied. Its smooth texture warms on contact, creating a protective layer that helps seal in moisture while releasing the sacred, resinous aroma of frankincense. [scentsofthegods.com]

Why Frankincense

Known to the ancient Egyptians as Sanatjar, frankincense was imported from distant lands and revered by Pharaohs for use in cosmetics, medicine, and ritual censing. Burned as the first incense of the morning temple rites, frankincense symbolized renewal, protection, and divine presence. [scentsofthegods.com]
