Read Our Formulation & Ingredient Research
Research has explored how essential-oil aromas may influence attention, alertness, cognitive performance, and brain activity. While findings vary by oil, study design, and administration method, several ingredients used in Focus Essential Oil Roll-On have been investigated in these areas.
Lavender and sustained attention: Human research has examined Lavender aroma during sustained-attention tasks, with one study finding that Lavender helped limit decreases in attention during a prolonged task. More recent research has examined Lavender essential-oil inhalation in relation to reaction time, response accuracy, cognitive flexibility, and EEG activity. A systematic review has also evaluated Lavender aromatherapy and cognitive outcomes. [1–3]
Lemon and cognitive performance: Lemon essential oil has been investigated in relation to working memory, cognitive performance, alertness, and brain activity. Human EEG and neuroimaging studies provide scientific context for Lemon’s use in aromatherapy, although findings should not be interpreted as proof that Lemon essential oil improves cognition. [4–5]
Frankincense and memory: Frankincense (Boswellia species) has been investigated for potential relationships with memory and cognitive function. A small randomized study in older men examined oral frankincense supplementation and explicit motor memory, while other research has evaluated Boswellia-containing preparations and cognitive outcomes. These studies involved oral preparations, not topical or inhaled Frankincense essential oil, and therefore do not demonstrate that Frankincense essential oil or Focus Roll-On improves memory. [6–7]
Vetiver and alertness: Preliminary animal research has examined Vetiver essential-oil inhalation and brain activity. An EEG study in rats reported changes in sleep-waking patterns and electrical brain activity following Vetiver inhalation. Because this was animal research, the findings should not be assumed to demonstrate the same effect in humans. [8]
Together, this research provides scientific context for several individual ingredients in Focus Essential Oil Roll-On. It does not establish that the complete Focus formula improves learning, memory, academic performance, ADHD, learning disabilities, cognitive impairment, or any other medical or psychological condition.

Focus Isn’t About Doing Everything at Once
One of the quickest ways to feel unfocused is to treat everything as equally urgent.
Emails, unfinished projects, household responsibilities, work, studying, notifications, ideas, and other people’s requests can all compete for attention.
Trying to mentally hold all of them at once can make beginning anything feel difficult.
A focus ritual doesn’t complete your work for you.
Instead, it can create a deliberate transition between being distracted and deciding where you want your attention to go next.*
Focus Essential Oil Roll-On was created to accompany that practice, a portable aromatic ritual you can return to whenever you want to pause, regroup, and begin again.

Why BioSource Naturals?
BioSource Naturals was founded in 2006 by a traditional naturopath, aromatherapist, certified EFT practitioner, and Reiki Master from her work in a holistic healing and mind-body private practice.
Unlike brands created simply to enter the growing essential-oil market, BioSource Naturals grew from hands-on experience with aromatherapy, holistic wellness, emotional wellness, and mind-body practices.
Our blends are rooted in that original practitioner experience, not simply selected from a private-label catalog and repackaged for sale.
We supply pure essential oils with purity and quality verified by GC and/or other quality-control testing.
Our approach combines aromatherapy with practical physical, emotional, and spiritual self-care, which is why many BioSource Naturals products include educational resources designed to help you create a more complete wellness ritual.
