Boswellia Nanoparticles

Care of barrier disordered skin.

Extract for the supportive care of hyperactive and barrier disordered skin.

Composition

Active agent complex of Boswellia serrata extract (frankincense extract), avocado phytosterols and highly enriched phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) in aqueous nanoparticles dispersion.

Properties

Nanoparticles stabilize Boswellia serrata extract (frankincense extract) in high dosage, transport the active agent into the skin and enable skin application in spite of the resinous property of Boswellia. Frankincense extract inhibits the expression of metalloproteinases, which induce the degradation of collagen. Metalloproteinases are activated when the skin is strongly stressed by UV radiation. Furthermore, Boswellia inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase, a key enzyme of inflammation processes. Frankincense encapsulated in nanoparticles is not only used for anti-ageing skincare, but also for accompanying care of inflamed skin disorders and especially actinic keratoses. Phytosterols (“unsaponifiables”) from avocado oil extract support the care of barrier disordered skin.
