FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Bisabolol |
|---|---|
| Type | Soothing active (oil soluble) |
| Solubility | Oil soluble |
| Use Rate | 0.1–1.0% typical. 0.2–0.5% is a common sweet spot for daily leave on products. |
| Best Phase | Oil phase or cool down addition in emulsions |
| pH Compatibility | Not pH dependent (oil phase ingredient). |
| 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. |
| Appearance | Clear to pale yellow liquid |
| Stability Notes | Protect from light and air exposure to maintain long-term freshness. Blend with an antioxidant system in oxidation-prone oils. |
