2. Product Description
Frankincense Extract, also known as Boswellia Extract, is a premium natural herbal extract derived from the oleo gum-resin of Boswellia serrata trees, a plant of the Burseraceae family native to the dry mountainous regions of India, northern Africa and the Middle East. With a history of thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and ancient cultural rituals (used for embalming, incense and healing by Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Indian civilizations), this extract is produced through advanced low-temperature extraction and vacuum drying processes, which maximally retain its bioactive constituents. Its key active components include boswellic acids (especially β-boswellic acid, 3-O-acetyl-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), the most potent anti-inflammatory component), as well as terpenoids, essential oils and polysaccharides. The extract appears as a fine pale yellow to light brown powder with a characteristic resinous aroma, good fluidity, insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol and other organic solvents. Our Frankincense Extract is manufactured in strict compliance with international quality standards (USP, Eur.Ph.) and GRAS safety requirements, with no added preservatives, artificial pigments or harmful substances, ensuring high purity, stable activity and safety for long-term use. Its remarkable anti-inflammatory, joint-protective and skin-nourishing properties have made it widely recognized in the fields of health care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and traditional wellness products.
