Historical & Cultural Background

Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as holy incense and used it in face masks. The ground burnt resin, known as kohl, was used to line the eyes — a practice depicted throughout Egyptian art. The earliest recorded use dates to a 15th century BC tomb inscription of Queen Hatshepsut.
