Here you will know why bisabolol is so good for the skin! Surely you have sometimes used chamomile to treat different conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, wounds or even for eye and skin infections due to its beneficial anti-inflammatory and calming properties. But do you know what the active ingredient responsible for these properties is? We will tell you about it below!
What is bisabolol?
We all know and have taken advantage of the many healing properties of chamomile and its essential oil. However, little is said about bisabolol or alpha-bisabolol, the component capable of providing us with such versatility of benefits, especially for the skin. It is a plant extract obtained by distillation of the chamomile flower zone and one of the main active ingredients of chamomile essential oil.
What is bisabolol used for?
We use chamomile as an infusion to soothe intestinal discomfort, promote sleep, as a diuretic or to treat eye and dermatological infections. Focusing on external and topical use, the alpha-bisabolol component is responsible for all the benefits that chamomile brings to your skin. Its beneficial properties make it an element of plant origin with countless functions, thus being found in treatments for facial and body care and oral, and in cosmetics for treating sensitive skin or anti-inflammatories. In fact, the ideal is for products such as creams, after-sun, post-depilatory lotions, after-shave or baby lotions to have bisabolol in their ingredients.
**There are products with alpha-bisabolol in their ingredients, but not as the main ingredient. In fact, according to the Institute of Dermocosmetics, the dose is usually 0.1 to 0.8% of the total formula**
