Tallow is a traditional skin fat derived from the fat of grass-fed cattle. What makes this ingredient special is that its lipid structure closely resembles the natural sebum our skin produces. This allows tallow to be exceptionally well-absorbed, acting as a true moisturizer that nourishes the skin rather than just forming a protective layer on the surface.

Naturally, tallow is rich in essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. These nutrients support the skin barrier and help keep the skin soft, supple, and resilient. Due to its natural compatibility with the skin, tallow has been used for centuries in traditional skincare as a pure, nourishing base for skin care.

Thanks to its natural lipid profile, olive oil supports the skin barrier and helps to keep the skin supple and comfortable. In traditional care, olive oil was often used to nourish, soothe, and give the skin a healthy, soft appearance. In combination with other natural ingredients, it contributes to a rich and nurturing base for the skin.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.

Thanks to a high concentration of polyphenols, Dragon Blood helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, a major factor in skin aging.

In addition, the resin contains unique plant compounds such as taspine, known for their restorative and soothing properties. Dragon Blood supports the skin's natural recovery process and helps the skin become stronger, calmer, and more resilient.

Throughout the centuries, frankincense was so highly prized that in some civilizations, it was even more valuable than gold and known as “the gift of heaven”.

Scientific research shows that these natural components can help the skin reduce visible signs of skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness.
