Alpha-Bisabolol

Low risk

FunctionSoothing

What it is — Alpha-Bisabolol (INCI: Bisabolol) is a soothing active. It occurs naturally in chamomile and is also produced synthetically, so the source varies by supplier.

What it does — It is commonly used to help calm the look of irritation and lend a comforting feel to sensitive skin.

Typical use — It appears in calming serums, essences, creams, masks and post-treatment products, typically at low levels as a supporting soothing agent.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for sensitive or easily-reddened skin, and it pairs well with humectants and barrier ingredients. It is valued for comfort rather than exfoliation or brightening.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a low-hazard soothing active with a strong tolerability record. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low-hazard soothing active with a strong tolerability record.
