Key Ingredients & Benefits
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from organic flax seed oil, borage oil, rose hip oil)
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown in clinical studies to support skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and protect against UV-induced photodamage. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that topical omega-3 application benefits inflammatory skin conditions including dermatitis and psoriasis.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
An organosulfur compound that acts as a sulfur donor to keratin, the structural protein in skin. A 16-week clinical trial published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology demonstrated that 3g daily MSM supplementation improved skin firmness, elasticity, and reduced wrinkles. MSM also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Derived from Boswellia resin, frankincense has been studied for its anti-collagenase and anti-elastase activities—enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen and elastin in aging skin. Research in PMC journals shows frankincense modulates inflammation and tissue remodeling in human dermal fibroblasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skin types is this lotion best for?
The Omega-3 Frankincense Body Lotion works for all skin types, but it's especially beneficial for dry, mature, or sensitive skin. The omega-3 fatty acids support skin barrier function, MSM provides sulfur for collagen production, and the clean, vegan formula avoids common irritants like parabens and sulfates.
How does this compare to the MSM body lotions?
Both collections contain MSM. The Omega-3 line adds omega-3 fatty acids from flax seed oil, borage oil, and rose hip oil—ingredients clinically shown to reduce inflammation and support skin barrier repair. The MSM line focuses on MSM as the primary active. Choose Omega-3 if you want added anti-inflammatory and barrier-support benefits; choose MSM if you prefer a simpler formulation.
What does frankincense essential oil do for skin?
Frankincense (Boswellia) essential oil has been studied for its anti-collagenase and anti-elastase activities, meaning it may help protect collagen and elastin from breakdown. Research published in PMC journals shows frankincense modulates inflammation and tissue remodeling in human skin cells. It also provides a warm, grounding aroma.
Is this lotion greasy or heavy?
No. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It's suitable for daily use, including right after a shower.
Can I use this on my face?
While formulated for body use, the ingredients are gentle and non-comedogenic. However, Griffin Remedy offers dedicated facial care products optimized for facial skin. For body use, this lotion provides excellent hydration and anti-aging support.
What does MSM do in skincare?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a sulfur-containing compound that acts as a sulfur donor to keratin, the structural protein in skin, hair, and nails. A clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that participants taking 3g MSM daily for 16 weeks showed significant improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and reduction in wrinkles. MSM also has anti-inflammatory properties.
How often should I apply this?
For best results, apply daily after showering or bathing while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture. Reapply as needed on dry areas like elbows, knees, and hands.
Does this contain synthetic fragrance?
No. The scent comes entirely from frankincense essential oil and the natural aroma of the botanical ingredients. Griffin Remedy products contain no artificial fragrances.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is free from common irritants including parabens, sulfates, artificial colors, and synthetic fragrances. It's vegan and cruelty-free. The organic botanicals (aloe, chamomile, calendula, lavender) are traditionally used to soothe sensitive skin.
