Ripristinare Botanicals
Resin Concentrates
Somatic Apothecary
A first-extraction frankincense concentrate designed to restore the skin, deepen ritual, and reconnect the body through scent, touch, and time.
​
​
​
​​
​​​​
​
Ancient resin. Living oil
These first-extraction frankincense infusions unite wild-crafted Boswellia sacra, intelligent carrier oils, and slow ceremonial craft into a deeply aromatic concentrate for anointing, facial massage, somatic practice, and daily devotion delivering a concentrated, sensorial layer of restoration that moves beyond ordinary face oil.
​​
​​
​
​
​
What these are
Ripristinare Botanical Resins are first-extraction frankincense concentrates: slow-infused resin elixirs created for skin restoration, anointing, facial massage, and somatic ritual. They are not conventional face oils and not essential-oil serums. They are concentrated resin preparations suspended in nourishing botanical oils, designed to bring together lipid support, aromatic depth, and the felt experience of intentional touch.
​
Why first extraction matters
The first extraction yields the most vivid meeting point of resin and oil: aroma, warmth, texture, and the deeper personality of the material. It creates a concentrate that feels substantial on the skin yet can still be used sparingly, blended, layered, or ritualized in many ways.
​​
​
​
Why these exist
These were created because skincare can do more than moisturize. It can become a threshold into presence. These resins were made for those who want nourishment with meaning: something beautiful enough for the face, grounding enough for the nervous system, and alive enough to feel like a return rather than a routine.
How to Purchase
These limited-edition preparations are available through our online shops, within the spa, or by direct request.
You may purchase through Etsy or Shopify, or reach out for a more personal arrangement.
Black Sacra No. I
A first-extraction Boswellia sacra concentrate for deep restoration, aromatic grounding, and slow facial ritual.
Restoration
What it is
​
Black Sacra No. I is a first-extraction frankincense concentrate—created by slowly infusing wild-crafted black Boswellia sacra resin into a lipid-rich botanical base.
It is designed for the face, neck, décolleté, and points of contact across the body where touch, scent, and presence meet. Resinous, warm, and quietly expansive, it offers a more substantial layer than a traditional face oil—something that rests on the skin, moves with it, and unfolds over time.
​
​
​
It exists in the space between skincare and ritual:
an anointing oil, a treatment medium, and a sensory preparation for slower, more intentional contact.
Why it exists
​
This formula was created for moments when conventional skincare feels too light, too immediate, or disconnected from the body.
​
​
​
Black Sacra No. I offers a different pace—one that invites contact rather than quick absorption. Through its resinous weight and aromatic depth, it encourages a more deliberate relationship with the skin: slower hands, longer breath, and a greater sense of presence in the act of care.
It is especially suited to skin and rituals that benefit from steadiness, warmth, and a feeling of grounded return.
Why you may want it

Choose Black Sacra No. I if you are drawn to:
-
richer, more cocooning oils that invite slower, more intentional application
-
dry, depleted, or weather-worn skin in need of softness and replenishment
-
facial massage, sculpting, and hands-on ritual work that benefits from depth and glide
-
supporting the skin’s barrier, elasticity, and overall vitality
-
the quiet softening of scars, tension-held areas, and places that respond to consistency over time
​
And beyond the visible—
-
a scent that settles the body, slows the breath, and draws attention inward
-
a feeling of being held, steadied, and returned to center
-
a more present, receptive state that supports clarity, focus, and calm attention
-
a traditional relationship with frankincense that has long been associated with memory, awareness, and cognitive support
What’s inside
​
Wild black Boswellia sacra resin from Oman is slowly infused into organic olive oil.
The result is resinous, warm, slightly smoky, and quietly devotional.
​
Constituent profile
​
The resinous portion of Boswellia sacra contributes the body and grounding presence of the infusion. Traditionally associated with calming inflammation and supporting tissue integrity, this fraction is often linked to:
-
a more even, resilient appearance of the skin
-
support for areas that feel depleted, dry, or time-worn
-
the gradual softening of scars and tension-held regions
It is this layer that gives the oil its substance, warmth, and slow-acting character.
Aromatic Fraction — Breath + Clarity
The volatile aromatic compounds—rich in terpene structures—are responsible for frankincense’s unmistakable scent profile.
These compounds have been studied for their relationship to:
-
relaxation of the nervous system
-
shifts in mood, attention, and emotional tone
-
support for clarity, focus, and present-moment awareness
In practice, this is the aspect that is inhaled as much as it is applied—
bridging skin, breath, and perception.
Lipid Fraction — Delivery + Nourishment
The oil medium—composed of skin-compatible lipids—serves as both carrier and active participant.
It contributes:
-
glide for massage and facial work
-
support for the skin barrier and moisture retention
-
a delivery system that allows aromatic and resinous compounds to integrate gently with the skin
This layer ensures that the experience is not only aromatic, but deeply tactile and restorative.
The Whole Expression
Together, these layers create a preparation that feels both active and steadying—
-
substantial, yet breathable
-
aromatic, yet grounding
-
nourishing, yet purposeful
Not simply a surface oil, but a multi-dimensional application that engages skin, scent, and the body’s sensory field at once.
​​
​
​
This is where chemistry meets perception—where what is applied is also inhaled, and what is absorbed is also experienced.
How to use a concentrate
​
Because this is a concentrate, a little goes a long way. Use it undiluted in very small amounts, or blend a few drops into other oils, balms, or body rituals depending on the depth you want.
Ways to use it
-
Warm 2–4 drops between the palms and press into damp skin as the final step of a facial ritual
-
Use with slow facial massage, buccal-inspired external sculpting, or neck and chest massage
-
Press onto pulse points, sternum, or behind the ears as an anointing oil
-
Add a few drops to a simpler face oil or balm to deepen aroma and richness
-
Smooth over scars or areas that benefit from regular, patient softening
-
Apply to the body after bathing while skin is still slightly damp
-
Use before meditation, journaling, prayer, breathwork, or evening unwinding
-
Add a few drops to bath oil or bath salts rather than dropping directly into water
​
​
​
Ritual application
Begin with one breath. Warm between the palms. Inhale slowly. Press into skin with deliberate hands. Let the resin lead the pace.
​
​
​
Beyond the Skin
While these preparations are designed for topical application, the material itself carries a much older relationship to smoke, space, and atmosphere.
​
Frankincense resin has long been burned to:
-
clear and shift the energetic tone of a space
-
mark the beginning of ritual, prayer, or focused attention
-
support a sense of grounding, reverence, and inward orientation
​
This oil does not burn in the same way—but it carries that lineage in another form.
Through warmth, scent, and contact with the skin, it offers a more intimate expression of the same material:
-
applied rather than diffused
-
absorbed rather than dispersed
-
experienced through touch as well as breath
Bottle
​
50 ml / 1.7 fl oz
Packaged in UV-protective black glass to help preserve aromatic integrity and extend the life of the infusion.

A first-extraction frankincense concentrate for clarity, movement, and luminous skin vitality
Clarity
What it is
​
Green Hojari No. II is a first-extraction frankincense concentrate—created by slowly infusing rare green Boswellia sacra resin into a lightweight, skin-compatible botanical base.
​
​
​
Where Black Sacra rests deeper on the skin, Green Hojari moves more lightly—absorbing with ease, carrying a brighter aromatic profile, and leaving behind a soft, luminous finish.
​
​
​
Designed for the face, neck, décolleté, and points of sensory awareness, it offers a more lifted expression of frankincense—something between facial oil, aromatic tonic, and daily ritual application.
Why it exists
​
This formula was created for moments when the skin and body benefit from lightness, movement, and renewal rather than depth and weight.

And beyond the visible—

It contributes:

a smooth, refined glide for facial work
