Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Does it absorb well or feel greasy?
Most reviewers report that the serum absorbs beautifully into the skin without leaving a heavy residue, despite its rich, thick texture. One customer noted it absorbs smoothly over time, and another compared it to a 'dry oil,' making it suitable for use during the day as well as at night.
Good for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
Several customers with sensitive, rosacea, and combination skin have reported positive results. One reviewer with rosacea mentioned it helped reduce redness, while another with sensitive skin found the serum works very well for their complexion without irritation.
How much do I need to use?
Reviewers consistently note that a little goes a long way. Multiple customers describe using just a drop or two, which stretches the product across the entire face and neck area without waste.
Does it help with aging skin?
Many older customers report visible improvements in skin texture, softness, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One 62-year-old reviewer noted seeing benefits within a week and continued improvement over time, while another described softened skin and reduced wrinkles, especially during dry winter months.
What does it smell like?
Reviewers consistently describe the scent as exquisite, divine, and uplifting, with a natural honey-like aroma. The product contains the whole frankincense oleoresin rather than added essential oils, giving it its natural fragrance.
Can I use it during the day?
While formulated as a nighttime serum, several customers report successfully using it in the daytime as well. One reviewer with sensitive combination skin uses it during the day and finds it works great, while another mentions mixing it with moisturizer for enhanced results.
Does it help with sun damage or sun spots?
Several reviewers mention using the serum after sun exposure and report that sun spots appear to fade with continued use. One customer noted applying it to sun-damaged areas on the face and hands, finding it nourishing for those spots.
Does it contain any fragrances or preservatives?
No fragrances or preservatives are added. The serum's natural scent comes from the whole frankincense oleoresin, which contains boswellic acids and naturally occurring essential oils.
How long does a bottle last?
Because only a small amount is needed per application, customers report that bottles last a long time. One reviewer, who uses it daily, has repurchased multiple times and moved to a larger size based on how much value they receive.
Does it help with dry skin?
Multiple reviewers with dry or winter-affected skin report that the serum hydrates and nourishes effectively. One customer noted it works particularly well during colder, drier months, while another used it successfully on rough, dry patches on hands and body.
While our Frankincense Rose Serum is perfect for day time application and is absorbed quickly into the skin, Serum-G is richer and will continue to penetrate and nourish the skin, making it perfect for nighttime application.

It is best applied after the skin has been thoroughly cleansed and slightly damp following a toner. Witch Hazel is recommended for individuals with oily or combination skin. Rosewater or a Hydrosol of Frankincense is recommended for all skin types.

No essential oils are added to this product, instead, the complete and whole oleoresin containing all the Boswellic acids and the naturally occurring essential oils lends it its lovely fragrance.

The base of this serum is a double infusion of Frankincense Dalzielii in organic jojoba oil. What this means is that fresh powdered Frankincense Dalzielii was immersed in warm organic jojoba oil for one and a half lunar cycles, filtered, pressed and then another batch of powdered Frankincense was added to the oil extract and allowed to infuse for the same period before filtering and blending with Sea Buckthorn and rosehip oils.

This is an Astrodynamic product produced in accordance with the tenets and practices of traditional medical Astrology and Western plant Alchemy.

Sea Buckthorn fruit oil is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds and gives this serum it's garnet colour.
Rosehip oil protects, hydrates and moisturizes while promoting collagen formation.
Along with Jojoba, these oils give body and viscosity to the Serum making it ideal for nighttime application and extended absorption.
Boswellic acids in Frankincense have shown anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer properties in studies and add elasticity to the skin.
Like most tree saps, (In my experience), all Frankincense resins, (Not the essential oils), have a rejuvenative effect on the skin.

This product is prepared with the whole oleoresin of Frankincense Dalzielii and not just the essential oils as in most commercial products. This means the Boswellic acids and other therapeutic compounds are present and contribute their anti-inflammatory and medicinal virtues. Recent studies have shown that Frankincense Dalzielii has the highest percent of Boswellic acids among all the Frankincense family.

Serum-G is made with FreshFrankincense Dalzielii, Organic Jojoba oil, Sea Buckthorn fruit oil and Rosehip oil. No fragrances or preservatives are added. Serum G has an expected shelf life of 2 years. It does not need to be refrigerated but should be kept in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
Always test on a small patch of skin before using any new product.

Serum G is now available in dropper bottles for easy application.
