FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Bisabolol |

| Temperature Tolerance | Stable under normal processing. We recommend adding below 50°C when possible to reduce thermal stress. |
| Pro Tip | Use alpha-bisabolol to improve comfort in formulas containing brightening actives, acids, or retinoids. In emulsions, add it to the oil phase or during cool down and mix well for even distribution. For fragrance-free sensitive skin positioning, alpha-bisabolol helps deliver a “calm” feel without relying on essential oils. |
