What is frankincense?
Frankincense is obtained from the gum resin of frankincense trees (Boswellia). There are over 20 species of Boswellia. Frankincense trees require special conditions to thrive, which can only be found in certain Asian and African regions; absolute dryness and soil with a certain mineral composition.
Extraction of frankincense
Trunks and branches are cut to obtain it. The sticky, milky sap that emerges slowly dries in the air to form a viscous mass, the frankincense resin (olibanum). It is collected after a few weeks. For good quality, it requires a longer waiting period; the quality improves and becomes purer over time.
Other interesting ingredients
To further enhance the product, Boswellia Vida contains other selected ingredients in addition to the high-quality Boswellia serrata extract.
Sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier
Lecithin from sunflowers contains 20% phosphatidylcholine. Lecithins influence the permeability of a membrane (skin, mucous membrane). The absorption and bioavailability of lipophilic (fat-soluble) ingredients is increased by the addition of lecithins as an emulsifier according to a study*.
