Name alpha bisabolol Description Alpha bisabolol is a naturally-occurring unsaturated monocyclic terpene alcohol. It is used as a skin conditioner and skin whitening agent. It is made by combining ketodiene, ether, and methyl magnesium iodide, then reacting with ammonium acetate. It can also be extracted from natural plant sources. Benefits May have anti-inflammatory properties on skin. Considerations • Penetration Enhancer
Has been found to easily absorb into skin and allow the absorption of other chemicals. • Contamination Concerns
Alpha bisabolol may contain impurities including basabolene, bisabolol oxide, farnesol, chemazulene, nerolidol.
• Skin Sensitization
One can develop allergies to alpha bisabolol. • Environmental Toxicity
Hazardous to aquatic life with long-lasting impacts Synonyms alpha-Bisabolol
