Frankincense

Topical application of boswellic acids refines tactile roughness, softens fine lines, enhances elasticity, balances sebum excretion, and improves dermal echographic parameters for photoaged facial skin. Suitable for most skin types, frankincense is primarily available in concentrated serums. Because it layers easily, this botanical extract integrates smoothly into any existing skincare routine.
