Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How strong is the scent?

The scent is very potent despite being a powder extract. Many reviewers describe it as incredibly vibrant and fragrant, with one noting it is still plenty fragrant even after the essential oil has been distilled. Several customers compare it favorably to fresh Chios Mastic resin, confirming it retains intense fragrance.

What does Mastic Chios Resin Extract smell like?

Reviewers describe the scent as bright, green, and fresh with floral, herbal, and woody notes. One customer noted it brought back memories of Lebanon, where mastic is traditionally used in desserts and incense. The aroma is described as mellow and inviting, with a sweet quality overall.

Can I use this in skincare products?

Yes. The product description notes that mastic resin leaves skin feeling soft, supple, smooth, and happy when mixed with carrier oils. A ratio of 1 part resin extract to 5 parts carrier oil creates a fragrant, skin-loving oil suitable for salves or creams.

Will this work in beard or moustache wax?

Yes. According to the description, the extract performs the same as fresh oleoresin in beard or moustache wax, providing great hold and shaping power while imparting a distinguished Mastic fragrance.

Is this a good alternative to fresh Mastic resin?

Yes. The description states this is a much more affordable alternative to fresh Mastic resin while retaining the same intensity of fragrance. Reviewers consistently praise its quality and potency as a substitute.

Does it dissolve in oils and alcohol?

Yes. The product description notes the finely ground powder dissolves readily in alcohol and in warm carrier oils in a water bath, making it suitable for various cosmetic and aromatic formulations.

Can I burn this as incense?

Yes. The description states it burns cleanly with no charred odour and is perfect as a premium ingredient in loose or formed incense blends. Reviewers also reference traditional use in incense in Mediterranean cultures.

What is the difference from fresh Mastic tears?

This is the spent resin left after essential oil distillation, ground, sifted, and dried. One reviewer noted it holds a mellow aroma compared to the tears it once embodied, making it gentler while still intensely fragrant and suitable for blending into accords.

Rarely, if ever, available in shops, it is a much more affordable alternative to fresh Mastic resin for making cosmetic, aromatic and therapeutic products. It is still intensely fragrant and perfect as an ingredient in solid perfumes, salves, cremes, cosmetics, incense blends and moustache wax recipes.

Mastic Chios Resin Extract is a finely ground powder and dissolves readily in alcohol and in warm carrier oils in the water bath.

After distillation of the essential oil, (which you will find in the shop here-https://www.etsy.com/listing/897060683/mastic-essential-oil-chios-mastic-greece, the spent resin is ground, sifted and dried twice before it is ready for use.

Mastic Chios resin Extract is perfect as incense since it burns cleanly with no charred odour and can be used as a premium ingredient in loose or formed incense.

This lovely sweet-smelling resin has the same intensity as fresh Chios Mastic resin. Though we often assume all the scent in our aromatic plants is found exclusively in their essential oils, resins have taught me that they too have their own aromatic life and often double as fixatives, anchoring other fragrances.

I have found that most tree resins have an affinity for our skin. This could be attributed to the resin's function of healing the tree's skin, but regardless of the reason, resins mixed with a carrier oil leave the skin feeling soft, supple, smooth and happy.

Chios Mastic Resin Extract is still intensely fragrant, little is needed to make salves or cremes for skin care. A ratio of 1 part resin to 5 parts carrier oil creates a lovely, thick, fragrant and skin-loving oil which can also be used as the oil phase of oil/water cremes.

In a Moustache or beard wax, it performs the same as fresh oleoresin, giving great hold and shaping power while "perming" facial hair to the desired shape and lending a distinguished Mastic fragrance.
