ORIGINS

A Sustainable and Socially Responsible Ingredient 

Serratrin is made from the gum resin of the Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) tree. Boswellia gum resin is also ttraditionally known as Indian olibanum, Salai guggul, and Sallaki in Sanskrit. The plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan.

 

PLT Boswellia serrata materials are sourced in India from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The entire Boswellia serrata supply chain starts with deep, long-term relationships developed with the most trustworthy collectors and aggregators that have been decades in the making. In conjunction with the Indian forestry department, collectors are trained on sustainable gum tapping methods to maximize yield while maintaining the safety and health of the Boswellia serrata tree populations. Tapping locations on the tree bark, as well as the frequency of tapping, are carefully controlled to maintain good tree health.

 

In early 2022, PLT Health Solutions announced the commencement of a third-party sustainability audit program on Boswellia serrata trees in India by renowned botanical research consultancy Botanical Liaisons, LLC. The third-party audit program is based on a broad range of environmental, cultural and economic parameters

 

At PLT, we understand that proper stewardship of natural resources and social responsibility toward the communities that support our work is both the right thing to do and good business.
