BISABOLOL

Bisabolol is an active ingredient (sesquiterpene) that was originally obtained from plants, for example from chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). Chamomile extract therefore naturally contains α-bisabolol. The active ingredient is valued for its anti-inflammatory, skin-soothing and antimicrobial properties. Bisabolol can help to soothe skin irritations and support the regeneration of irritated skin or skin prone to redness.(1-5)
