Use

Alfa Bisabolol (Bisabolife) is added to cosmetics as an active ingredient. Among other things, it is used as an anti-inflammatory and to reduce irritation. These properties have been reasonably researched and substantiated, making it a suitable substance for use in aftershave, for example.

Please note: the fact that it can reduce irritation in the usage concentration does not alter the fact that it can cause an allergic skin reaction, certainly pure or in a higher concentration.

You only need a little alpha Bisabolol in a cream or lotion: 12 to 20 drops per 100 grams is sufficient. You can mix the active ingredient with both oil and water phases, but mixing it afterwards with an emulsion is also possible.

You can possibly use more when used as an aromachemical, it has a fresh, slightly spicy scent. It is somewhat reminiscent of the freshness of chamomile and goes very well with ambers, citrus and herbs.

Sustainability

The alpha Bisabolol we sell has been obtained through 'white biotechnology'. A piece of the plant (enzymes, oil-producing cells) is isolated and cultured for use in a factory. With the help of sugar and relatively little use of energy and space, you can make vegetable substances in this way. This is considerably more sustainable than extraction from ordinary plant sources. These use a lot of land and/or cause deforestation.

Packaging

The 10 and 50 ml packaging consists of a glass bottle with a black closure. The 250 g packaging consists of an aluminium bottle with cap. It can be useful to order plastic pipettes for dosing.
