About

A fragrant resin extract used for light skin-conditioning, but it carries more sensitivity risk than a plain emollient.

Plant resins are chemically complex mixtures of terpenes, resin acids, and aromatic compounds. They can offer soothing or antioxidant properties, yet fragrance allergy and irritation are more plausible here than with a bland carrier oil or humectant.
