Alpha Bisabolol – levomenol

Alpha-bisabolol or levomenol, is the primary constituent of German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla or Matricaria recutita), and is also found naturally in the bark of the Candeia (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa) tree of Brazil, which accounts for most of the world’s production of this ingredient.

It is a naturally occurring active ingredient with anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties, that accelerates the healing process of skin and protects it from the effects of daily stress.

It reduces UV-induced erythema in-vivo.  It has also been demonstrated in studies to enhance the dermal penetration of other ingredients, making it a truly versatile active ingredient for skin care products, especially those containing other active ingredients and cosmeceuticals. It also has natural anti-bacterial as well as anti-mycotic properties.
