INCI: Boswellia carteri water

Frankincense Hydrosol is a gentle aromatic water produced during the distillation of frankincense resin and used as a facial mist, toner-style spritz, or water-phase ingredient in DIY formulas. It has a soft resinous scent and is water-based, which makes it milder and easier to use than an essential oil. This version is preservative free, so clean handling is especially important. It is best understood as an aromatic botanical water rather than an oil-based product.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Frankincense Hydrosol because it offers a softer, more everyday way to enjoy the character of frankincense in skincare and DIY making. It is especially useful for simple misting routines and aromatic water-phase formulations.

EN Staff Tip: Add a few drops of hyaluronic acid to your hydrosol spritzer bottle for a plumping and hydrating facial spritz.

Hydrasol

I am very pleased with this product. I wanted an all natural toner, so i bought this with Witch hazel hydrasol (non alcohol),and my skin firmness amd elasticity has imoroved, i only have been usising this for 3 weeks, and i wont go back. I am prone to acne, and since i switched to all natural products its been a game changer. I also purchased the huylaron serum 1% and i love it. Its smooth and just glides on after i spday my face with the hydrasols. Thanks so much!! I also got a wheatgerm oil as sample. I have been using it as a night oil, and thats been so nice. So when my sample is done. I will purchase a bigger bottle.

HYDROSOL ANTI-AGING SERUM

I recently purchased all the required ingredients for the "Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum" and the "Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid", as per your recipe on your blog: https://essentiallynatural.co.za/blogs/natural-face-care/luxury-serums-for-anti-aging-and-problem-skin, but added 12ml Of Frankincense to the Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

I chose a hydrosol serum formula, because I find oil-based serum's too heavy for my skin, even during winter. I'm absolutely blown away by how amazing my skin is feeling! Both the formula's absorb SUPER quick, and there's no heaviness or residue left on my skin. Only 2 weeks in, and my wrinkles are softer and not so deep, my skin is SUPER hydrated and glowing and I'm already seeing a difference!

I begin my regime by cleaning my skin with Rose Water, and then apply the Vit-C Serum, followed by the Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I do this twice a day, even though you suggest only using the Vit-C Serum once a week.

I bought a pipette bottle for the Vit-C Serum, and use 2 drops, and I use a Serum Pump Bottle for the Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and use one pump.

The recipe was really easy to follow, and took absolutely no time at all to create these little bottles of youth-elixir's!

HY-HYDRAAAATED!

My skin has been THRIVING since introducing this into my routine and using it as an alternative to the other seemingly ineffective toners from the beauty aisle. I bought quite a few products from the site last month and all of these including this 5/5 star hydrosol has tremendously improved my skin in under one month. My skin is the best it's ever been since using this hydrosol and I can't wait to be able to purchase other products and use them in combination with this one and my newly established skin care routine. I'm officially a dedicated customer! Get this, NOW!!

Proven results for acne

This product took two weeks to visible improve my acne I broke out as a result of hormonal changes, I was so surprised I have always heard wonders about Francense. I have use the other hydrosols such as the Rosemary and Rose Geranium which all worked wonderfully but this product is so amazing. In fact every time I buy at Essentially Natural I'm so impressed by the results.
