HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Frankincense Oil by Dr. Clark Store

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: frankincense oil. It's an essential oil derived from frankincense resin, traditionally used in aromatherapy and topical applications.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Frankincense product and its label doesn't state a use — see Frankincense's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for frankincense oil is incomplete across the uses we've reviewed — acne, aging skin, back pain, cancer-related fatigue, and radiation dermatitis all carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings. That means we don't have enough solid research data to say whether it works for those purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Frankincense

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

When applied to skin or inhaled, frankincense oil is generally well tolerated short-term, though quality and dosing vary widely between products. The most common side effects are topical: dermatitis, irritation, and itching.

Rarely, it's caused allergic skin reactions and contact dermatitis in certain people. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those settings.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Frankincense oil is generally well tolerated for short-term topical use or inhalation in most people, but evidence for its effectiveness is thin. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies to essential oils.

Frankincense Oil by Dr. Clark Store: Common Questions

Does Frankincense Oil by Dr. Clark Store interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Frankincense Oil. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Frankincense Oil contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I use frankincense oil if I have sensitive skin?
The most common side effects are skin irritation, dermatitis, and itching when applied topically. If your skin is sensitive, patch-test it on a small area first or talk to your pharmacist before regular use.
Is frankincense oil safe to use while I'm pregnant?
No — there isn't enough safety information, and the data advises against use during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Can I use frankincense oil while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Check with your pharmacist before using it.
Does frankincense oil really help with acne or aging skin?
The evidence isn't established — both acne and aging skin carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings in our data. That means we don't have enough solid research to say whether it works for those purposes.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients in this product?
No — this product contains frankincense oil only, with no inactive ingredients listed.
