About Frankincense - Boswellia serrata

This aromatic resin has woody, spicy and citrus notes. Most frankincense today is sourced from Somalia, where over harvesting is becoming increasingly unsustainable for the land and dangerous for the people. Our organic Frankincense essential oil is sustainably wild harvested or grown on farms through communities in Puntland, Somalia. Our supplier also invests a part of their profits into community schools, hospitals and boreholes. The medicinal and ceremonial use of frankincense extracts date back over 5000 years. Historically frankincense has been used in incense, embalming rituals, healing salves, perfume and regenerative skin care.

About Avocado Oil - Persea gratissima

Avocado oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit that is high in chlorophyll which produces an ultra rich, thick green oil. It has a medium absorption rate that penetrates deep into the skin layers and aids absorption of other ingredients in a blend.  This highly nourishing oil is suitable for dry, damaged, chapped and mature skin. Avocado oil promotes the repair of epithelial tissue, reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen synthesis making it an excellent treatment for inflamed skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
