Bisabolol. BISABOLOL RAC is an active, anti-inflammatory agent. It is of synthetic origin and contains four isomers of alpha-bisabolol. It protects and heals the skin from the effects of daily stress. Anti-inflammatory BISABOLOL RAC is used for sensitive skin, antiperspirants & deodorants, personal care wipes, toothpaste/mouthwash, baby care & face cleansing and self-tanning products. Also used in after-sun and after-shave products. INCI: BISABOLOL CAS Number: 515-69-5 / 23089-26-1 / 23178-88-3 / 25428-43-7 Chem/IUPAC Name: (2R)-6-methyl-2-[(1R)-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl]hept-5-en-2-ol EINECS/ELINCS No: 208-205-9 / 245-423-3 / 246-973-7 COSING REF No: 74499 Boiling Point 314-315°CSolubility: Insoluble in water. Slightly soluble in ethanol Bisabolol is a safe ingredient used in a wide array of formulations. It is safely used up to 1% concentration in leave-on formulations. Skin care: It has skin healing properties including reducing wrinkles and skin roughness, and repairing sun-damaged skin, and more recently it has been compounded with tretinoin as a topical treatment for acne. Because of its anti-oxidant qualities, bisabolol can help keep skin firm and youthful-looking by visibly reducing the signs of aging. Due to its anti-inflammatory qualities, it frequently plays a bioactive skin-calming role and is found in many products made for sensitive skin. In addition to its calming effects, research suggests bisabolol may have some ability to lighten discoloration. It provides moisturization and relieves dry and itchy, flaky skin. Hair care : Because of its high panthenol concentration, it can effectively stimulate and promote the skin's healing process and encourage healthy hair growth Origin : German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla or Matricaria recutita) plants or the Brazilian candeia tree (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa) bark are the two sources used to extract bisabolol. Similar steps are taken in the extraction process as in the distillation of essential oils. Following the extraction of the raw oil, it is refined to separate the desired bisabolol from the other ingredients. It can also be created synthetically using molecular engineering. The procedure entails using human enzymes and organisms like yeast or bacteria to produce the nature-identical molecule, typically through fermentation. Because no trees need to be cut down, this has exciting implications for sustainability. Synthetic bisabolol can also be produced using chemicals. However, since petroleum is a common source of carbon, the resulting bisabolol is of lower purity levels.
