Looking for a natural way to boost skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and achieve a radiant, firm complexion? This Frankincense Anti-Aging Cream brings together some of the most powerful botanical ingredients in natural skincare.
Formulated with a base of shea and cocoa butter, this whipped blend is enriched with rosehip and argan oils—two antioxidant-rich hydrators that nourish deeply and support skin regeneration. The addition of frankincense and geranium essential oils elevates the formula with time-honored skin-rejuvenating properties, helping to firm, tone, and balance uneven texture.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Frankincense helps tighten skin and reduce signs of aging
- Rosehip oil fades scars and evens skin tone
- Argan oil hydrates and softens without clogging pores
- Geranium oil balances sebum and boosts glow
- Rich, whipped texture that melts into skin without heaviness
- 100% natural and preservative-free
How to Use:
Massage a small amount into clean skin as the final step in your evening routine. It’s especially effective when applied to the face, neck, and décolletage at night, when skin enters its natural repair phase.
Skin Types:
Best for mature, dry, or uneven skin. Those with sensitive skin should patch test first due to essential oil content.
Shelf Life:
Store in a clean jar in a cool, dry place for up to 4 months. No refrigeration needed.
If you’re embracing holistic skincare or looking to cut back on commercial products, this DIY cream offers a luxurious, plant-powered solution that’s as indulgent as it is effective.
