Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Quells irritation
Reduces redness
Traditional Use
Bisabolol is a natural sesquiterpene alcohol found in various plant sources, historically used in traditional medicine. The wood oil was traditionally used in folk remedies; modern cosmetic use leverages its anti-inflammatory and skin-calming properties.
