Description

Bisabolol is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a mild characteristic floral woody odor. It contains at least 95% (-)-1-alpha-bisabolol, a monocyclic unsaturated sesquiterpene alcohol. Alpha-bisabolol, which is neither toxic nor irritating to the skin, exhibits anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties, as well as antifungal and antibacterial effects. In particular, it is a potent inhibitor of fungi, Candida albicans and gram-positive bacteria.

It is suitable for use in skin care products where manufacturers want to take advantage of its anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and antifungal properties, which make it a desirable active ingredient for protecting the skin from various stressors, including in cleansing, shaving, depilatory and sun exposure products. When used in small amounts, bisabolol is active, safe and compatible with the skin.

Bisabolol is well absorbed after dermal application, and manufacturers should be aware of the potential of bisabolol to increase the penetration of other ingredients in cosmetic formulations.
