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.
Two grades of sugar — coarse for polish, fine so it never feels harsh — folded through shea butter and frankincense-infused oils. It rinses clean instead of leaving an oil slick, which is the difference between a scrub you use once and one you keep.

What it does
- Polishes away dry, flaky skin
- Leaves skin soft rather than greasy
- Warm, resinous scent that lingers after 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. It is why the scent has depth rather than sitting on top, and why the oils left on the skin do more than lubricate.
- Raw sugar and caster sugar — two grades, deliberately. Coarse alone scratches; fine alone barely works. Together they polish without harshness.
- Sweet almond oil — the base. Nourishing, and it carries the scent.
- Shea butter — melts into the skin as you work the scrub in.
- Olivem 1000 — an olive-derived emulsifier, and a small amount does an important job: it lets the oils rinse away rather than coating your skin and the shower floor. I'd rather name it than call it a plant-derived emulsifier and leave you guessing.
- Vitamin E — antioxidant, and it keeps the oils fresh.
- Frankincense and vanilla bean — the Nourish scent, the same as the butter, body oil and bath bomb.
How to use
On damp skin in the shower, massage a scoop in circular motions, then rinse. Use the spatula and keep water out of the jar. Stir before use — the oil naturally rises to the top.
