Functions

Fragrance

Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

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.

Anti-Inflammatory

Boosts Collagen

Wound Healing

Traditional Use

Frankincense resin has been one of the most valued substances in history, used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome for religious ceremonies, medicine, and skincare. It was prized by Cleopatra for its anti-aging and skin-regenerating properties and remains central to traditional Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern beauty practices.
