The product may have been steam distilled in the USA , and packaged here, but the resin is sourced from North Africa usually. 82% of the world's Frankincense resin (olibanum) comes from Somalia. It has been known to come from Southern Arabia, Ethiopia,etc. The varieties are Boswellia sacra, carteri frereana . and serrata.....the Serrata being known as Indian Frankincense, so perhaps that particular one is sourced out of India, but I'm not positive on that. One of those first 3 types was given to the baby Jeebus by the Three Wiseman,as well as Myrrh and it is mentioned in other places throughout the Bible. It's quite amusing to think of Frankincense growing wild in the USA. I have a hunch that it isn't being farmed, nor cultivated in greenhouses,( a la "hothouse frankincense") here, either....not even in the Bible Belt. Okay, I had to go there.....sorry.

  Bottle says 'Steam distilled from resin'. Made in USA

  My bottle does not show either of those words---it states Boswella serrata ( Frankincense) Essential oil.
Sorry cannot be or more help.

  Sorry don't know what type it is.

  Frankincense essential oil can be applied neat (w/o carrier oil), so I'm assuming it can be applied to the face, however, I wouldn't get it close to the eyes. Usually frankincense is used topically at reflex points and/or directly on area of concern. I personally haven't used it on my face.

  You can add a couple drops to your daytime or nighttime face lotion. Increases the moisture in the lotion.

  Definitely dilute with lotion or a carrier oil when putting it all over your face.

  I believe you need to mix with a carrier oil. I use coconut oil.

  I use on my face

  I have used an expensive brand of Frankincense and VS brand is no different in my opinion, it is pure essential oil w/ no additives.

  It is 100% oil.

  Please use as directed - Theresa K. (VS)

  You would want research age appropriate formulations (dilutions).
