The resin is gently warm infused into the carrier oil, rested then carefully filtered to create a ready-to-use botanical skin oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished oil feels light on the skin and carries a naturally fresh, resinous aroma with pine-balsamic, citrus and woody notes. Natural variation in aroma and colour between handcrafted batches is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDID YOU KNOW?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mastic-growing villages of southern Chios were built out of sight and arranged like fortresses, with their outermost houses forming defensive walls against pirate raids. Under Genoese rule, when mastic cultivation was systematised, these villages acquired the fortified form still associated with the \u003cem\u003eMastichochoria\u003c\/em\u003e today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCHIOS ORIGIN \u0026amp; ETHNOBOTANICAL HISTORY\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePistacia lentiscus\u003c\/em\u003e occurs naturally across much of the Mediterranean, but the celebrated Chios \u003cem\u003emastiha\u003c\/em\u003e tradition belongs to southern Chios, where resin production is concentrated across 24 historic \u003cem\u003eMastichochoria\u003c\/em\u003e, or mastic villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultivation is a family practice carried through the year. From mid-June, the ground beneath the trees is swept, levelled and prepared so the resin can be gathered cleanly. From July, growers make a series of small incisions in the trunk and main branches with an iron tool. The clear resin gradually solidifies into the distinctive tears that are collected, cleaned and graded by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUNESCO inscribed the know-how of cultivating mastic on Chios on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014, recognising a living agricultural tradition in which knowledge is passed from older growers to younger generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastic also has a remarkably long cultural record. Ancient texts associated with Theophrastus, Dioscorides and Galen record Chios mastic, including its use as a cosmetic agent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, genuine Chios \u003cem\u003emastiha\u003c\/em\u003e carries Protected Designation of Origin status, linking the resin to its place of production and the cultivation traditions of southern Chios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eINGREDIENTS \u0026amp; HANDCRAFTED PREPARATION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride, Pistacia Lentiscus Gum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach batch begins with 30 g of Chios Mastic resin for every 100 mL of MCT coconut oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resin is maintained in the carrier oil at approximately 50°C for 24 hours, then allowed to rest for a further 24 hours.
