Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil modulates inflammatory cytokines and prevents leukotriene release, reducing redness. Its antibacterial action disinfects pores, while astringent effects tighten skin and stimulate new cell growth, with its mechanisms primarily due to compounds like α-pinene rather than boswellic acids found in other Boswellia species.
