Frankincense Cream
Infused with Premium Grade A Boswellia Carterii, Boswellic Acid Extract 70%
NOTE ON SHIPPING: Although this cream does not require refrigeration, it should not be subject to extreme temperatures. Ground shipping is not advised. If possible, avoid allowing it to sit in the hot sun to avoid the risk of separation. In summer, I will include a frozen gel pack to help it along its way. Depending on the length of its journey, it may have returned to room temperature upon arrival, and this is perfectly normal.
This is a rich, luxurious body cream that is as wonderful for your hands as for the rest of your body. But don't let its decadence fool you - it's also a very potent medicinal!
The cream has been infused with a premium extract of frankincense rich in boswellic acids (BA), particularly the highly desirable AKBA variety.
The extract powder is created from pure frankincense resin using a very labor-intensive process using organic ethanol. The final powder consistently tests extremely high in BA - at 70 percent. You can read more about this extract at the link below.
Boswellic Acid Extract & How It's Made
Is This Just Lotion with a Little Frankincense Essential Oil Added In?
Not at all!
Essentials oils represent only the smaller volatile compounds of a plant. If you are wanting the therapeutic benefits that specifically come from the boswellic acids unique to the Boswellia species, you can only get those from dissolving the resin. Boswellic acid molecules are too large to be captured by distillation.
This cream has those boswellic acids (BA) added back in via the special premium extract, as described above.
In addition to the boswellic acids, the cream is fortified with shea butter, jojoba, and other naturally moisturizing oils, as well as aloe vera leaf juice and vitamins E and B5. It has a pleasantly light aroma from an organic essential oil blend of frankincense (of course), vetiver, and petitgrain.
Although these natural ingredients certainly nourish and rejuvenate the skin, this cream's benefits don't stop there!
Benefits Beyond Skin Deep
Many people have experienced symptomatic relief from taking a boswellia supplement, but many don't know that you can derive the same benefits through the skin - transdermally.
This is what allows frankincense cream to perform its magic!
One study compared the BA levels in the synovial fluid of the knee joints between two groups - one taking an oral BA supplement and the other applying a BA ointment to the skin. They found the two groups to be equal!
The two groups also experienced comparable symptomatic relief from the BA treatment, whether it was oral or transdermal.
I cover this and the latest science about the therapeutic applications of boswellia in my comprehensive report about frankincense oil, The Gem of the Herbal Healing Kingdom: Frankincense Oil.
