Frankincense or mastic, for instance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resin

I believe this is a double definition.

'frankincense' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'mastic for instance' is the second definition.
(I know that mastic is a type of natural resin)

(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "varnish, perhaps" , "Synthetic compound" , "Rinse out this substance from trees" , "Material exuded from tree" , "frankincense, for instance?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
