When topically applied, bisabolol inhibits proinflammatory cytokines molecules most associated with inflammation. By inhibiting these cytokines, skin inflammation and irritation may be reduced.
Bisabolol also possesses anti-microbial properties, which can help to prevent and treat skin infections.
It’s a potent antioxidant that works by neutralizing free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
By inhibiting melanin synthesis, Bisabolol can help to reduce the appearance of undesirable dark spots on the skin, leading to a brighter complexion and more even skin tone.
In cosmetics and personal care products, Bisabolol enhances the absorption of other ingredients through the skin. It is often combined with active ingredients that are unable to penetrate the skin effectively on their own.
