What Is Frankincense Resin?
Frankincense resin is a natural exudate obtained by making incisions in the bark of Boswellia trees. The sap hardens into a golden, aromatic substance with a distinct scent. This product from CHEWYZ is a single-ingredient botanical, not a blend of vitamins or minerals. It is offered in a substantial 1000 g quantity, allowing for regular use in various applications.
