Boswellia Serrata Gum

Boswellia serrata extract, a plant-based extract from the resin of the tree of the same name, contains a high concentration of boswellic acids known for their calming and soothing effects. The extract works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, an important enzyme involved in the formation of inflammation-promoting leukotrienes. These molecules play a major role in the inflammatory response that often occurs after manual extraction of comedones. It helps visibly reduce redness and irritation and has a soothing effect on a burning sensation of the skin. Studies show that the extract effectively provides comfort without disrupting the barrier function or causing irritation, even with a disturbed pH balance. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive skin conditions where inflammation and irritability play a role. In this way, Boswellia serrata extract supports skin recovery during a critical phase of increased sensitivity.
