One of our very favorite finds ever, our pure French Plum Oil has delightfully sweet scent with notes of plump summer cherry and sweet almond. It is freshly cold-pressed on a family farm in the southwest of France and is made with a centuries old hybrid variety of plum that was created with Syrian and French plums during The Crusades. The oil is produced in small batches and only available in limited quantities each year.
A spicy, aromatic oil with notes of pine, the desert, and a hint of bright citrus, Franc Encens is an anti-aging booster for skin, natural pain relief for the body, and one of the oldest natural perfumes on earth. We created this small batch multi-use oil using an artisanal hydro-distillation of Omani black Frankincense and a macerated Frankincense concentrate. Produced in the Sultanate of Oman, the oil is distilled in copper using hand hammered traditional European alembic pot stills, and the concentrate is made from the spent resin of the oil. The resin is dried and macerated in organic coconut oil producing a thick, fragrant oil with a high concentration of boswellic acid, an anti-inflammatory and agent of natural pain relief.
Creosote is an evergreen shrub with small waxy leaves that thrives in desert climates. It's also known as "la hediondilla" or stinky one, because of its distinctive smell that most southwesterners say reminds them of the desert in the rain. Early Indigenous Americans used creosote to treat many maladies, and today creosote is widely known as a wonder healer for the skin, a remedy from nature that helps to heal and speed the healing of all manner of abrasions, chafing, skin irritations, excessive dryness, pimples, and scars.
