The Ancient Secret for Calm, Radiant Skin
Treasured for thousands of years — used by queens, healers and entire civilizations. It was once worth more than gold, burned in temples, and used for beauty and healing rituals, even in mummification. There’s a reason it’s still around today — this resin works on more than just the skin.
Why It’s One of My Favorite Ingredients
Frankincense comes from the Boswellia tree and is loaded with boswellic acids — natural compounds known to calm inflammation, support cell renewal, speed up wound healing, and protect collagen and elastin. In plain terms, it helps your skin stay firm, balanced, smooth, youthful and resilient. It’s also naturally antibacterial, antifungal, and soothing — ideal for skin that’s reactive, breaking out, or starting to show fine lines. Even its scent has a grounding, peaceful energy that relaxes the body and mind.
Modern research confirms what ancient healers already knew:
Boswellic acids help prevent collagen breakdown (NIH, 2013)
Frankincense extract soothes acne and irritation (PubMed, 2010)
Its aroma reduces stress and supports skin balance (JTCM, 2019)
Why We Infuse It (and Avoid Using The Essential Oil)
Essential oil only captures part of what frankincense offers and most people stop there- we take it further. We infuse the whole resin slowly into oil, drawing out the full range of compounds and capturing its full anti-inflammatory, cell-regenerating power in a more complex, skin-loving form. The result is gentler, deeper, and far more nourishing.
It smells incredible — deep, earthy, grounded, sacred, just a little spicy— not sharp like the essential oil. And it gives your skin that soothed, radiant feeling you can’t fake.
If your skin’s been asking for calm, healing, or just a bit of ancient magic — this is it. You’ll find our frankincense infusion in the Skin Medic+, Skin & Hair Elixir and Daily Glow Face Cream.
