Resin Salve
Frankincense & Myrrh Botanical Balm for Dry, Exposed & Weather-Stressed Skin
Calistea's Resin Salve is a dense botanical balm formulated to deeply nourish dry skin and help protect it from environmental stress. Built around two of the oldest and most revered resins in botanical skincare — frankincense and myrrh — this salve is designed for skin that feels exposed, depleted, or in need of fortifying care.
A rich base of olive, sweet almond, jojoba, and castor oils delivers lasting moisture while beeswax forms a breathable protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss and keeps the botanical infusions in contact with the skin longer.
Frankincense and myrrh resin extracts — both slow-infused into the formula — bring centuries of traditional use in protective and conditioning skin preparations. They lend depth and structure to the formula without heaviness.
The texture is dense yet smooth, melting gradually into the skin to encourage deliberate, unhurried application. Soft resin and earth notes from the essential oils unfold subtly — grounding and steady rather than aromatic or perfumed.
Rooted, supportive, and intentionally simple — this is care for skin that needs strength and stability.
Ideal for:
• Dry, wind-exposed, or weather-stressed skin
• Hands, cuticles, and joints
• Outdoor work or extended cold weather exposure
• Areas needing a protective moisture barrier
• Nighttime targeted care and recovery
• Anyone who reaches for frankincense or myrrh in their practice
Suitable for all skin types.

Choosing Between Resin Salve and Restore Salve
Both are concentrated botanical salves from Calistea with the same rich oil base. The difference is in purpose and aromatic character.
Restore Salve — Calming and grounding. Lavender and frankincense. Designed for moments of tension, fatigue, or depletion — care that soothes and steadies. Best for evening use and self-care rituals.
Resin Salve — Protective and fortifying. Frankincense and myrrh. Designed for skin that faces environmental exposure — cold, wind, dryness, outdoor conditions. Best for hands, cuticles, and weather-stressed areas.
If Restore is the salve for quiet care, Resin is the salve for protection.
