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.

A: A hydrosol is the aromatic water collected during distillation. It is water-based and milder than essential oil.

Q: Can Frankincense Hydrosol be used instead of distilled water in a toner formula?

A: Water-based products are more easily contaminated, so good hygiene helps maintain freshness.
