Frankincense resin extract

The frankincense tree (Boswellia carterii) is a small tree growing in the arid regions of Somalia and the Arabian Peninsula. When its bark is cut, it releases a resin that hardens into pale lumps - olibanum, or frankincense.

The resin extract contains boswellic acids and aromatic compounds. In cosmetics it soothes irritated and reddened skin, supports its regeneration and improves elasticity and smoothness, making it ideal for dry, chapped and mature skin.

You will find it in our hand cream and hand balm from the saffron line.
