Boswellia, commonly referred to as Salai, is a plant of the family Burseraceae. This plant is native to India and is mainly grown in drier parts. The tree is 4-5 m in height. The oleo-gum resin is excluded by cuts made in the bark of the tree. Oil is harvested once the gum hardens. Since ancient times it was used for osteoarthritis, muscular pain & cosmetic purposes. Boswellia is widely used for anti-aging treatments and acne medications due to its strong anti-inflammatory property. It has clinically shown to improve skin elasticity and visibly reduce wrinkles by healing damaged & destructive connective tissue. It is widely used in commercial cosmetic products & fragrances.
