ORGANIC FRANKINCENSE RESIN HYDROSOL

This is such a distinctive and deeply grounding resin hydrosol ~ unlike anything else in our collection, and unlike anything most people have ever misted onto their skin. Distilled from pure Boswellia carterii frankincense resin, this is not a flower water but a true resin hydrosol ~ capturing the water-soluble plant chemistry of one of the most ancient and revered botanicals in the world. The frankincense resin is sustainably harvested in Somalia, then expertly distilled in France to the highest organic standards ~ completely preservative-free, pure, and undiluted.

Frankincense has been prized for thousands of years ~ by ancient Egyptians, in Ayurvedic tradition, and across the Middle East ~ and modern research is now confirming what herbalists and healers have always known. Boswellia carterii resin is naturally rich in alpha-pinene, limonene, and incensole acetate ~ active compounds known for their antioxidant, calming, and skin-conditioning properties. These compounds give this hydrosol its remarkable firming, regenerating, toning, and age-defying character.

Cosmetically, this hydrosol is firming, purifying, regenerating, revitalizing, calming, cleansing, and deeply toning. It helps support a healthy, balanced complexion while its meditative, woodsy, resinous aroma does something equally beautiful for the mind ~ grounding, calming, and deeply relaxing.

Why frankincense is especially powerful for mature skin: Of all the Boswellia species, carteriiis particularly well-suited for dry, lined, and menopausal skin ~ with a natural compound profile that leans toward supporting collagen, suppleness, and skin elasticity. Alpha-pinene, one of its primary active compounds, is known to support cell membrane function and help other botanical actives absorb more effectively into the skin. And limonene contributes antioxidant protection, helping defend against the environmental stressors that accelerate visible aging. So, if your skin is feeling slack, dry, or in need of some firming botanical support ~ this hydrosol is a perfect choice.

Beneficial for all skin types, and especially beautiful for mature, aging, sensitive, and dry skin. A versatile botanical mist, it can also be used as an aftershave, added to bath water, or enjoyed as an aromatherapy or meditation room spray ~ it's absolutely beautiful and so useful to have on hand for a variety of purposes!

This amazing hydrosol is preservative-free, distilled at low temperatures, completely natural, pure, and undiluted, with no additives.

Please note: Hydrosols are delicate and preservative-free ~ to extend shelf life, store in a cool, dark area away from direct light and heat, which can reduce effectiveness over time. Freezing warning: hydrosols can freeze and expand in cold temperatures, causing glass bottles to break in transit. If your region is experiencing temperatures of 32°F or below, please wait until temperatures warm before ordering.

How to use: First, wash and dry your face with water or a gentle facial wash. Mist with 1~3 spritzes of hydrosol. If you'd like, you can gently rub the hydrosol into your face. Allow to air dry or gently pat dry with a soft washcloth. Finish by applying a facial serum or moisturizer. Use twice per day (morning and night). For best results, apply while skin is still slightly damp, then follow immediately with your serum ~ the hydrosol helps the botanicals absorb more deeply and locks in hydration beautifully. This hydrosol is also wonderful used as a meditation or aromatherapy mist ~ simply close your eyes, mist gently around your face and space, and breathe deeply.

Psst ~ frankincense and bakuchiol are a powerful pair for mature skin. Layer this hydrosol underneath our Bakuchiol Botanical Facial Serum for a firming, age-defying combination that works with your skin's natural renewal process.

To extend the shelf life, store in a dry, cool, and dark area. Direct light and heat will reduce the effectiveness and shelf life of the product.
