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.
Why It’s Special
-
Frankincense + Myrrh Resin Infusion – A powerful blend of Boswellia dalzielii (renowned for its exceptionally high boswellic acid content), Boswellia sacra (treasured for promoting smooth, firm, radiant-looking skin), and Myrrh resin (long revered for its ability to support repair, renewal, and resilience). These sacred resins are extracted into castor oil, releasing their full spectrum of nourishing and restorative compounds.
-
Organic Castor Oil
Hexane-free and cold-pressed, castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid and essential fatty acids. It deeply hydrates, softens, and supports skin barrier health, creating the perfect base for carrying the full benefits of frankincense and myrrh resins.
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.
