Bisabolol, or alpha-bisabolol, is a native ingredient in chamomile essential oil. Less commonly, bisabolol is obtained from the wood of the candaia tree. Bisabolol is very well tolerated, has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is therefore often used for irritation and sensitive skin. Dry or impure skin also benefits from the soothing and healing properties. Alpha-bisabolol acts on the melanocyte receptors to reduce irritant responses, which can lead to a reduction in melanin synthesis. This process can reduce skin pigmentation and lead to a "brightening" effect.
