Cleopatra's Frankincense & Olive Oil Face Scrub + Mask
A luxurious, all-natural exfoliant crafted from fragrant frankincense resin (Boswellia), mineral-rich Dead Sea salt, and nourishing Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. When massaged onto the face or body, the resin gently buffs away dead skin cells while the Dead Sea salt provides invigorating mineral exfoliation; together they then soften and release concentrated botanical compounds into the skin.
What each ingredient does:
Frankincense resin (powdered): Soothes skin and calms redness; gentle physical exfoliant; pleasant, grounding scent.
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Moisturizes, softens, and helps protect skin with natural fats and vitamin E.
Dead Sea salt (fine): Exfoliates; minerals like magnesium can help soothe and balance skin.
Together:
Dual exfoliation: Salt + resin lift dull, dead skin. Calm + comfort: Frankincense helps reduce redness; minerals soothe.
Soft, nourished feel: Olive oil cushions during scrubbing and locks in moisture.
Subtle aromatherapy: Warm, resinous scent.
Bioactivity & Skin Benefits Explained
Anti-Inflammatory Action: The most notable feature of frankincense resin is its ability to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme involved in inflammation. This makes it particularly useful for "calming" the skin and reducing the appearance of puffiness or redness. Physical Exfoliation: When ground into a fine powder, the resin acts as a gentle, degradable mechanical exfoliant. Unlike plastic microbeads, it breaks down naturally and provides a textured surface that lifts dead skin cells without being overly abrasive. Skin Barrier Support: The resins and fats within the raw material help form a light protective film on the skin, which can assist in preventing "transepidermal water loss" (dehydration) after scrubbing. Antimicrobial Effects: Components like limonene and pinene have natural purifying properties that help keep the skin surface clean, which may be beneficial for blemish-prone skin.
