Bisabolol

Alpha Bisabolol: Alpha bisabolol is a sesquiterpene found in the essential oil and oil soluble extract of chamomile. It is a fantastic anti-irritant, at 1% is almost on par with lidocaine for reducing irritation on our skin, and it can prevent or reduce redness and stinging. It can reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for up to 48 hours. And the awesome part? It is substantive to skin, meaning if we include it in a rinse off product (like body wash) it sticks around after washing! α-bisabolol can penetrate our skin to promote production in the granular tissue under the stratum corneum, which will improve skin’s texture and elasticity as well as helping with UV damage.
