Bisabolol is a natural alcohol that is one of the main components of the essential oil derived from fresh or dried chamomile flower heads (inflorescences).
In fact, in nature this ingredient is present in several species of plants: in addition to the common chamomile, it is also extracted from the wood of the Candeia tree (Vanillosmopis Erythropappa), a plant native to Brazil whose flowers have a scent very similar to vanilla . In particular, our bisabolol is obtained by direct distillation of natural oil from Vanillosmopsis Erythropappa.
It has soothing and calming properties that have been well known for centuries and is therefore used in numerous dressings. It has soothing and anti-reddening properties, it also has a softening effect, especially useful on particularly delicate, irritated skin and chapped lips. It is characterized primarily by its extreme skin tolerability.
Bisabolol cannot be used as it is directly on the skin, but must be mixed in a preparation before application: it is added cold at the end of the preparation during the process of making emulsions such as aftershave creams, soothing and after-sun creams, lip balms, baby care products and post-depilatory creams.
It should be added in the amount of 0.05-0.1%, but it can be as high as 1% based on the soothing force you want to impart to the final product.
