For adults (men and women), Boswellia Serrata Extract applied to the skin is generally safe and shows very low concern for things like cancer, allergic problems, or effects on pregnancy or development.
Do a patch test first: put a small amount on the inside of your forearm for 24–48 hours. If there’s no redness, itching, or swelling, it’s likely safe to use as directed. Follow the product instructions and avoid using on broken or irritated skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and concerned, talk with your healthcare provider.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling). The ingredient safety data lists low-level concerns for allergies and other issues, so these are uncommon but possible—stop use and wash the area if you notice symptoms and seek medical care if they are severe. Do not apply to open wounds. If you have a known sensitivity to frankincense-type extracts, avoid this ingredient.
