Mastiha: A Rare Origin with Clinical Relevance

Mastiha, or Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia, is a rare, aromatic resin sourced exclusively from the island of Chios, Greece. Formed as tear-like droplets along the tree’s bark, it is harvested using time-honored techniques that have been preserved for generations. While mastiha trees grow throughout the Mediterranean, only those in southern Chios produce resin with this level of potency due to a unique combination of microclimate, soil, and cultivation practices. Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance, mastiha is valued today for its complex composition and its role in both medicinal and clinical applications.

A Functional Approach to Skin Health

Inspired by nature’s healing response

Mastiha reflects a fundamental principle in clinical skincare. Skin performs optimally when it is supported, protected, and balanced. In nature, mastiha resin is produced by the tree to heal and defend against environmental stress. When applied topically in intentional formulations, it supports similar functions within the skin by calming inflammation, reinforcing the barrier, and promoting tissue repair.
