Boswellic acids exist only in frankincense resin. Steam distillation cannot carry them — they are too heavy to travel with the steam — so frankincense essential oil contains none at all. We infuse whole Boswellia carterii resin into organic jojoba over six weeks, the same infusion used in the Firm & Lift Face Oil, which is the only way to bring that fraction into a product. It is what we are after for the look of firmness, smoothness and elasticity over time, and it is why our label reads Resin, not only Oil.
A rich whipped butter for skin that has been stretched, dry, or through a lot. Cocoa and shea for depth, rosehip and sea buckthorn for renewal, and arrowroot so it absorbs instead of sitting on the surface.

What it does
- Deeply nourishing for very dry skin
- Supports the look of suppleness and elasticity
- Absorbs without the greasy film most body butters leave
What's in it, and why
- Frankincense-infused jojoba — the six-week whole-resin infusion, carrying the boswellic acid fraction that distillation leaves behind. The reason this butter does more than moisturise.
- Cocoa butter — the richest butter here, and the traditional choice for skin that has stretched.
- Shea butter — unrefined, for depth and softness.
- Mango butter — harder and less greasy than shea, so the blend never feels heavy.
- Rosehip oil — naturally rich in provitamin A. The renewal in the blend.
- Sea buckthorn oil — carotenoids and omega-7. A little goes a long way, which is why it's a small part of the formula.
- Calendula-infused oil — softening and comforting on skin that feels stretched.
- Sweet almond oil — nourishing, and it helps the butter whip light.
- Arrowroot — the reason this absorbs rather than sits. It turns a greasy butter into a silky one.
- Vitamin E — antioxidant, and it keeps the oils from oxidising.
How to use
Warm a small amount between your palms and massage into skin, ideally after a shower while skin is still slightly damp. A little goes further than you'd think.
