Chamomile tea
New from Daiichi is natural alpha bisabolol, mainly derived from the essential oil of the chamomile flower in concentrations of about 50%. Chamomile is widely known as a multiactive medicinal plant in traditional medicine. It is an optically active, monocyclic sesquiterpene-alcohol. Natural alpha bisabolol can also be obtained economically from other plants, such as the candeia tree.
Daiichi says that natural alpha bisabolol is compatible with most usual cosmetic raw materials and is stable in end products during storage. No colour change is observed and alpha bisabolol is not diffused through packaging materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester. The ingredient offered is stable in cosmetic formulations in the pH range 3-11.
Other alpha bisabolol isomers are found when alpha bisabolol is produced synthetically. Synthetic alpha bisabolol, also described as (+/-)-alpha-bisabolol, is a racemic mixture and possesses only about 50% of the effectiveness of the

Benefits of topical application include anti-inflammation, wound healing, antibacterial activity and deodorising activity.
