WHAT'S IT DO?
Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Reduces Inflammation
Locks In Moisture
Soothes inflammation
Protects against skin damage
Helps heal wounds
Fights acne
Causing bacteria
Traditional Use
This frankincense variety has been used in traditional East African and Arabian medicine for skin care and its antimicrobial properties.
