Bisabolol is a viscous, colourless natural oil derived from German chamomile and has anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing and skin lightening properties. Synthetic bisabolol can also be obtained but it is not as potent as natural bisabolol. Previously, Bisabolol is widely used in the industry as a fragrance but now, it is part and parcel of skincare creams and lotions.

Here are the excellent properties of bisabolol.

Anti-inflammatory

Studies have shown us that bisabolol when applied to the skin can inhibit the pro-inflammatory cytokines through its anti-inflammatory properties. Cytokines are the inflammatory markers that are released during inflammation. Bisabolol stops skin inflammation and skin irritation by acting on these cytokines. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, bisabolol is the part and parcel of many healing creams and ointments.

Antimicrobial

Bisabolol can protect your skin from foreign invaders. It has excellent anti-microbial properties and can act as fungicidal and bactericidal against certain strains of fungi and bacteria. It can treat ongoing skin infections. Anti-microbial property is used in skin care products for their stability and longevity.

Anti-oxidant

Free radicals are produced from external factors like ultraviolet radiation from the sun, dust and pollution and also from internal factors like diet, smoking, and the ageing process. These free radicals damage the cell important components such as DNA, cell membrane and cell important proteins. This damage in the skin cells causes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Bisabolol works by neutralizing these harmful free radicals and prevents the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, the signs of ageing.

Skin Lightening

Studies have shown us that bisabolol can inhibit melanin synthesis. Melanin is a skin pigment that gives colour to our skin. Due to the harmful external factors like ultraviolet radiation and some skin conditions can cause increased production of melanin. This increase production can cause hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark spots on the skin. By application of bisabolol on the skin, you can get a fair and smooth complexion. Bisabolol is widely used in skin brightening creams.

Increases the absorption of other products

Bisabolol has an excellent property to enhance the absorption of other skincare products on the skin. Bisabolol is combined with the active ingredient to enhance absorption.
