OUR INGREDIENTS
Frankincense
Ancient Resin, Modern Healing
Frankincense (Boswellia serrata and Boswellia carterii) is a resin extracted from trees native to Africa, India, and the Middle East. Used for thousands of years in traditional medicine and spiritual practices, frankincense is prized for its powerful anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerating properties.
The Science
Frankincense contains active boswellic acids that inhibit inflammatory enzymes in the body. These compounds work at a cellular level to interrupt the inflammatory cascade — making it particularly effective for chronic skin irritation where other ingredients may offer only surface-level relief.
Core Benefits
Powerful Anti-Inflammatory
Reduces swelling and redness at a cellular level by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways, offering lasting relief from chronic irritation.

Astringent & Toning
Tones and tightens loose or damaged skin, helping to refine texture and reduce the appearance of pores.
