Benefits at a Glance
-
Science-Backed Botanical Wisdom
Modern research has shown that the active compounds in Frankincense and Myrrh resins—notably boswellic and commiphoric acids—exhibit potent anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. These bioactive molecules have been studied for their ability to inhibit tumor cell growth, support cellular repair, and promote tissue regeneration, highlighting their remarkable role in overall skin health and longevity.
-
Smooths Fine Lines + Boosts Elasticity
Bakuchiol—nature’s retinol alternative—refines texture and tone without irritation or photosensitivity.
-
Brightens + Protects
THD Ascorbate, a non-oxidizing, lipid-soluble Vitamin C, enhances radiance, supports collagen, and shields against environmental stressors.
-
Deep Antioxidant Defense
Astaxanthin, Sea Buckthorn, and Pomegranate Oils deliver carotenoids and polyphenols that protect the skin barrier and promote a naturally luminous glow.
Why It’s Special
-
Plant-Derived Retinol Alternative
2% Bakuchiol delivers retinol-like results—refining texture, tone, and elasticity—without irritation or photosensitivity.
-
Whole-Resin Infusion
Frankincense + Myrrh resins are slowly extracted into organic jojoba oil to draw out their full-spectrum compounds. Research shows boswellic and commiphoric acids support collagen production, calm inflammation, and demonstrate anti-cancer and tissue-regenerative activity for deep rejuvenation at the cellular level.
-
Dual Frankincense Infusion
Boswellia dalzielii—known for its exceptionally high boswellic acid content—and Boswellia sacra—treasured for its firming, smoothing benefits—work synergistically to restore and protect the skin.
-
Non-Irritating Vitamin C
5% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) enhances brightness, supports collagen, and defends against oxidative stress while remaining gentle on all skin types.
-
Antioxidant-Rich Actives
Astaxanthin, Sea Buckthorn, and Pomegranate Oils deliver carotenoids and polyphenols that protect against environmental damage and promote a lasting, youthful glow.
-
Balanced Botanical Base
A lightweight yet deeply nourishing blend of Cacay, Rosehip, and Squalane absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and naturally radiant.
Resin vs Essential Oil
Most people don’t realize that frankincense essential oil contains only a tiny fraction of the beneficial compounds found in frankincense resin. During distillation, less than 5% of the resin becomes essential oil—the rest, including the valuable resin acids (like boswellic acids), is discarded as waste.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just wasteful—it also places enormous stress on frankincense trees, many of which are already at risk from overharvesting to meet the growing demand for essential oils. By relying only on essential oil, we pay more and get less, while putting the trees and their ecosystems in danger.
Our Approach
At Flower & Fern, we take a different path. We honor the whole resin through our unique 3-step extract process. This method gently unlocks the full spectrum of compounds—resin acids, aromatics, and natural oils—while supporting sustainability and reducing waste. The result is a balanced, full-spectrum infusion that nourishes the skin and respects the source.
Frankincense resin is infinitely more beneficial than the essential oil and in many cases can improve most products. We believe in bringing you skincare that’s both effective and ethical.

How to Use
After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of Eternal Youth Serum to your face, neck, and décolletage on lightly damp skin. Applying on lightly damp skin helps oil absorb and seals in hydration. Gently massage or press it into the skin, allowing it to absorb fully. Follow with a moisturizer if desired.
