Boswellia serrata is the botanical name given to the tree that produces the resin known to the ancient Egyptians as Sanatjar. It was first imported from Syria and Punt, with Pharaohs Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep II, and Rameses III attempting to grow trees for domestic supply. Sanatjar was utilized in cosmetics, medicine, and ritual censing. Burned as incense in purification rituals, it was the first temple rites in the morning.

The ancient Egyptians mixed herbs, resins, minerals, and botanicals with oils and butters to provide luxurious unguents for skin and hair ravaged by Egypt’s dry weather. The blend of the ingredients of Mendesian oils and butters provides moisturizing, age-defying, and skin-repairing properties.

Directions: Use as a balm for dry skin, and a beauty mask for fine lines and wrinkles.
