Today, this aromatic resin is experiencing a renaissance in modern skincare, and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Frankincense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frankincense is a resin harvested from <em>Boswellia<\/em> trees, primarily <em>Boswellia Carterii<\/em> and <em>Boswellia Serrata<\/em>. When the bark is cut, the tree produces a milky sap that hardens into golden, aromatic &#8220;tears&#8221; of resin. This resin contains <strong>boswellic acids<\/strong> \u2014 compounds that have been the subject of extensive research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Skincare Formulators Love It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boswellic acids found in Frankincense Carterii resin are valued in skincare for their ability to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Help promote an even, radiant-looking complexion<\/li>\n<li>Support the appearance of smoother skin texture<\/li>\n<li>Complement other nourishing oils and active ingredients<\/li>\n<li>Provide a luxurious, grounding aromatic experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not All Frankincense Products Are Equal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many skincare products list Frankincense essential oil as an ingredient, but essential oil alone doesn&#8217;t deliver the full spectrum of beneficial compounds found in the resin itself. The boswellic acids \u2014 the most researched components \u2014 are largely left behind during the steam distillation process used to make essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why at So Plump Cosmetics, we use an <strong>infusion process<\/strong> \u2014 steeping actual Frankincense Carterii resin and resin extract powder directly into organic cold-pressed Jojoba oil. This preserves the boswellic acids and other beneficial compounds that essential oil alone can&#8217;t deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Frankincense-Enriched Formulas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/products\/love-frank.html\"><strong>Love, Frank<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Our signature Frankincense-forward formula. Organic Frankincense Carterii resin infused into organic cold-pressed Jojoba oil, creating a pure, nourishing treatment that lets this ancient ingredient shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/products\/restore.html\"><strong>Restore<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 A revitalizing oil serum that combines our Frankincense-Jojoba infusion with a blend of hydrating oils, plus drops of 100% pure Frankincense essential oil for a complete Boswellia experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Frankincense Oil Serums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply a few drops to clean skin, morning or evening. Facial oils are best applied as the last step in your skincare routine \u2014 after water-based serums but before sunscreen in the morning. Gently press the oil into your skin rather than rubbing, allowing it to absorb fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Discover the difference that real Frankincense resin infusion can make. <a href=\"\/shop\">Shop our Frankincense-enriched serums<\/a> and experience an ancient beauty secret, reimagined.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years \u2014 from ancient Egyptian beauty rituals to traditional wellness practices across the Middle East and Asia.
