Where does it come from?
Bisabolol is primarily derived from the essential oil of the chamomile plant (Matricaria chamomilla), where it is found in high concentrations. It can also be sourced from the bark of the Candeia tree (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa) native to Brazil.

Antioxidant Properties: Bisabolol has antioxidant effects that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature aging.
Enhances Skin Healing: It promotes the healing of minor wounds, cuts, and burns, and is often used in products designed to soothe and repair the skin.
Antimicrobial Action: Bisabolol has mild antimicrobial properties, which can help prevent the growth of bacteria on the skin, making it useful in formulations for acne-prone skin.
