Frankincense, known as "luban" in Arabic, has been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern culture for centuries.
Derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree, it is more than an ingredient—it is a symbol of heritage, wellness, and natural beauty. At SAAF, we are proud to revive its legacy by incorporating the purest cold-pressed Frankincense oil into our skincare products, preserving its timeless benefits for modern routines.
A Natural Gift of the Middle East
Frankincense originates from the hardy Boswellia trees native to the Arabian Peninsula and parts of East Africa. These trees thrive in arid, rocky environments, producing a resin that has been harvested for thousands of years. The process begins when the tree’s bark is carefully cut, allowing the sap to seep out and harden into golden droplets. Once collected, this resin is distilled into a precious oil revered for its therapeutic and skincare properties.
For generations, Frankincense resin has been used across the Middle East in everyday life, from purifying homes with its aromatic smoke to crafting balms and salves for healing. Its significance as a natural remedy and beauty enhancer remains deeply rooted in the region’s culture.
A Soothing Scent and Energy Cleanser
One of Frankincense’s most cherished qualities is its grounding and calming aroma. Burning the resin has long been a Middle Eastern tradition, used to cleanse energy and create a serene environment. The earthy, balsamic scent is a sensory delight, known to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Whether diffused as an essential oil or applied topically, Frankincense continues to deliver a sense of tranquility that aligns perfectly with modern wellness practices.
Scientifically Proven Benefits for Skin and Beyond
Modern research has validated the age-old wisdom surrounding Frankincense. Studies reveal that it boasts powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for soothing sensitive skin and calming redness. Its ability to enhance skin elasticity and tone has made it a staple in natural skincare formulations.
In addition to its skincare benefits, Frankincense is celebrated for supporting respiratory health, improving immunity, and promoting overall wellness. It’s a true multitasker, offering both medicinal and cosmetic advantages.
