Frankincense & Myrrh Body Mousse

Most people don't think beyond the fragrance value of frankincense and myrrh when it comes to cosmetics, but these two botanicals actually have a lot to offer. Frankincense has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties that can help to reduce joint and sore muscle pain as well as signs of aging. Myrrh is antifungal, antibacterial and stimulates circulation.
