Thekla, there *may* be some help for skin cancer in frankinsense. Thus far, actual tests in vitro are promising, but there are no human studies finished. I'm not even sure they've begun them.
BUT! Frankinsense does rapidly increase cell regeneration, so it's good in cleansers, masks, moisturizing creams, lotions, etc., as well as in first aid/ healing salves. I add it to all of my homemade stuff, for hygiene & healing. It's also antimicrobial, antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial, so it's great for acne, nail fungus, cuts & scrapes, and I also put it in my tooth cleansers and mouth wash. Since I started using it as a mouth wash, my frequent cuts inside my mouth (from broken & big teeth) heal MUCH faster.
