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 light body oil that absorbs rather than sits. Sweet almond and sunflower for the base, rosehip and a trace of sea buckthorn for something beyond moisturising, and frankincense-infused jojoba carrying the scent.

What it does
- Hydrates without a greasy finish
- Leaves skin looking smooth and softly luminous
- Lovely over damp skin straight out of the shower
What's in it, and why
- Frankincense-infused jojoba — the six-week whole-resin infusion, carrying the boswellic acid fraction that distillation leaves behind. This is what gives the oil its depth and the reason it is more than a moisturiser.
- Sweet almond oil — the base. Nourishing, well tolerated, and it spreads beautifully over a large area.
- High-oleic sunflower oil — light and fast-absorbing, and stable enough to keep the blend fresh.
- Rosehip oil — naturally rich in provitamin A, for the look of smoother texture.
- Apricot kernel oil — soft, fine and gentle. It gives the oil its slip.
- Sea buckthorn oil — carotenoids and omega-7, in a small amount. It's what gives the oil its faint golden colour.
- Vitamin E — antioxidant, and it protects the oils from oxidising.
How to use
Best on damp skin after a shower — the oil holds the water against the skin. Two to three pumps for arms and legs, warmed between the palms first.
