Frankincense Resin Oil in Modern Skincare: Nature's Anti-Aging Secret
Share
Known throughout history as "liquid gold," frankincense oil is proving to be more than just a precious commodity – it's a scientifically-backed skincare powerhouse. Harvested from the Boswellia tree, it's emerging as a powerhouse ingredient in contemporary skincare. Let's dive into why this time-honoured remedy deserves a spot in your modern beauty routine.
What Makes Frankincense Oil So Special?
Before we explore all the benefits, let's understand what we're talking about. Frankincense oil comes in two forms, and each offers unique skin-loving properties:
Frankincense Resin Oil
Think of this as the gentler, more nourishing version. It's made by infusing frankincense resin in a carrier oil, creating a skin-friendly solution packed with boswellic acid – a natural compound that helps calm irritated skin and promote healing. This is what we use in our Radiance Renewal Serum, combined with moisturising castor oil and other complimentary ingredients for maximum benefits.Frankincense Essential Oil
This is the concentrated version, extracted directly from the Boswellia tree. While it doesn't contain boswellic acid, it's powerful in its own right, especially for tightening pores and improving skin tone. However, it must always be diluted before use.
