Here it is…the oil I’ve been making in my kitchen in small batches and using on my own face for the last 3 years. I’ve never had any botox or fillers and I’ve decided to share what I like.
It’s lightweight, hydrating, fast absorbing and feels great on my skin. I’ve been using it every morning and night (even under my makeup)
I call it “Coastal Glow”👇

So here’s what most people don’t know 👇
Not all “frankincense” skincare is the same.
Most products use frankincense essential oil
→ steam distilled
→ smells amazing
→ BUT… it does NOT contain *boswellic acids*
And that’s where the magic actually is.
Coastal Glow uses slow-infused frankincense resin in jojoba oil
—not essential oil!
Which means it contains *boswellic acids* 💥
👉 Boswellic acids are the compounds linked to:
☀️ Supporting collagen + skin firmness
☀️ Improving elasticity + texture
☀️ Calming inflammation at a deeper level
☀️ Helping reduce the look of fine lines + crepey skin
This is full-spectrum skin nourishment… not surface-level skincare with tons of chemicals and perfumes.
The frankincense resin infused jojoba oil is Blended with organic cold-pressed oils:
🌿 Rosehip (brightening + renewal)
🌿 Black Seed (barrier repair + calming)
🌿 Castor (deep hydration + glow seal)
⚠️ This is made in small batches because the resin infusion takes time. Each batch takes a minimum of 8 weeks to infuse.
So its…
✔ Made in Small batches only
✔ No fillers or synthetic fragrance
✔ No shortcuts in extraction
✔ Made to support skin—not mask it
No mass production.
No shortcuts.
No shelf stock waiting in the back.
If you’ve ever asked me what I use on my skin…
This is it.
Try it. Feel it. Your skin will thank you.
If you want the full breakdown of WHY this works (it’s actually wild), here ya go 👇
🌿 FRANKINCENSE: TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
1️⃣ Frankincense Essential Oil (Steam Distilled)
🔬 How it’s made
• Raw resin from trees like Boswellia sacra or Boswellia serrata
• Heated with steam in a still
• V***r carries volatile aromatic molecules
• Condensed → separated → bottled as essential oil
🧪 What’s actually inside
Primarily:
• Monoterpenes (α-pinene, limonene)
• Sesquiterpenes
👉 These are light, aromatic, fast-acting compounds
❗ What’s NOT inside (this matters most)
• Boswellic acids = NOT present
These are:
• Heavy
• Non-volatile
• Destroyed or left behind during distillation
💆♀️ Skin effects
• Mild anti-inflammatory
• Antibacterial
• Tightening (temporary / surface-level)
• Aromatherapy benefits (stress calming)
👉 Think: top-layer effect + scent experience
2️⃣ Frankincense Resin–Infused Oil
(The method I use)
🔬 How it’s made (true process)
1. Raw resin tears are:
• Cleaned
• Lightly crushed (increases surface area)
2. Added to a carrier oil (like jojoba)
3. Left to infuse:
• Weeks to months
• Low heat or ambient temperature
4. Oil extracts fat-soluble compounds directly from resin
🧪 What’s inside (this is the upgrade)
• Boswellic acids (AKBA, KBA, etc.)
• Resin acids
• Full-spectrum plant compounds
👉 These are:
• Heavier
• Biologically active
• Not found in essential oils
🔥 BOSWELLIC ACIDS (THE REAL POWER)
🧬 What they do (research-backed mechanisms)
• Inhibit 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase)
→ reduces inflammatory pathways
• Support:
• Collagen preservation
• Tissue repair
• Cellular signaling involved in healing
💆♀️ Skin-level benefits
• Improves elasticity & firmness
• Reduces appearance of:
• Fine lines
• Crepey skin
• Calms chronic inflammation (aging driver)
• Supports skin remodeling, not just hydration
👉 This is why INFUSED oil = functional skincare, not cosmetic fluff
🌊 WHY JOJOBA IS A STRATEGIC BASE
Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester, not a typical oil.
Why that matters:
• Mimics human sebum
• Enhances pe*******on of actives
• Stabilizes sensitive compounds
• Non-comedogenic
👉 It acts like a delivery system, not just a filler.
🧠 WHY MOST BRANDS DON’T DO THIS
Because resin infusion is:
• Time-intensive (weeks/months)
• Hard to standardize
• Lower yield
• Requires real understanding
Essential oils are:
• Fast
• Cheap
• Scalable
👉 So the market defaults to what’s easy—not what’s best
🔥 THE REAL DIFFERENCE
• Essential oil = top-layer, fast, aromatic benefit
• Resin-infused oil = deep, slow, structural skin improvement
👉 One is a cosmetic enhancer
👉 The other is a skin-repair system
💎 WHERE THIS FORMULA BECOMES NEXT-LEVEL
When you combine:
• Resin-infused frankincense (repair + anti-inflammatory)
• Rosehip (vitamin A + regeneration)
• Black seed (immune + barrier support)
• Castor (deep hydration + occlusion)
👉 You create:
• Multi-pathway skin support
• Both immediate glow + long-term structure
⚠️ IMPORTANT TRUTH
• Topical boswellic acid absorption is slower and limited compared to oral
• But:
• With consistent use
• Proper carrier (jojoba)
👉 You still get meaningful visible skin improvements over time
💡 Bottom line
• “Frankincense” on a label means almost nothing
• The extraction method determines everything
👉 Steam = scent + light benefit
👉 Resin infusion = full-spectrum skin therapy
I know this was a long post and a lot of info to take in at once but hey, ya learned something today🤣🙌
