Bisabolol GZE Skincare Oil Bisabolol 0.5% RefChem:917307 alpha-Bisabolol (+)-alpha-Bisabolol D-alpha-Bisabolol (aR,1R)-a-Bisabolol (+)-(1'R,2R)-alpha-Bisabolol Dragosantol Camilol (AlphaR,1R)-Alpha-Bisabolol
Compatibility
Works well with:
Niacinamide Hyaluronic Acid Ceramides Panthenol Allantoin Tocopherol Retinol Peptides Glycerin Squalane
Use caution with:
High-concentration L-Ascorbic Acid Strong Oxidizing Agents
Bisabolol is generally well-tolerated across most formulation types and pairs well with other skin-calming actives. At very low pH (below 4.0), stability can be compromised, so combination with high-concentration vitamin C in acidic systems warrants stability testing. Strong oxidizers may degrade bisabolol's active structure over time.
Formulation notes
Alpha-bisabolol (natural or synthetic) is widely used as a soothing and anti-inflammatory active. Use levels above 1% rarely provide added benefit and may increase sensitization risk in fragrance-sensitive individuals. Should be incorporated into the oil phase during formulation. No current EU or FDA restrictions at typical use levels.
