Α-Bisabolol is a naturally occurring monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol. It is a key active ingredient found in the essential oil of chamomile (*Matricaria chamomilla*), among other plants. It exists as a viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic mild, sweet, floral odor. Its primary and most significant application is in the cosmetics and personal care industry, where it is highly valued for its skin-soothing, anti-irritant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is widely used in formulations for sensitive skin, including creams, lotions, sun care products, aftershaves, and baby care products. Additionally, due to its pleasant and stable fragrance, it serves as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery and various scented consumer products. α-Bisabolol is also recognized for its antimicrobial activity and is sometimes incorporated into topical pharmaceutical preparations. It is generally considered safe for cosmetic use, with a good toxicological profile, and is often marketed as a natural, skin-compatible active.
