alpha-bisabolol

CAS: 72691-24-8

Overview

Alpha-bisabolol (CAS 72691-24-8 ) is a naturally derived monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol sourced primarily from chamomile oil, though synthetic and semi-synthetic versions are commercially available.

It functions as a skin-conditioning agent, fragrance component, and stabilizer across personal care, pharmaceutical, and food applications. In cosmetic formulations, it is used in moisturizers and serums.

The material is a standard active in sensitive-skin product lines due to its soothing properties. Pharmaceutical topical preparations incorporate it as a penetration enhancer and stabilizing agent in creams.

In fragrance development, it contributes a mild, floral-woody character and also functions as a fixative. This helps to extend the longevity of more volatile scent components in complex aromatic blends.

Food and flavor applications use it at controlled levels as a flavoring agent, particularly in products where a subtle floral note is required. It is supplied as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid.

It is available in natural and synthetic grades, with natural-origin material commanding a premium in clean-label markets. Cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are the most commonly traded.

Purity levels for these industrial grades are typically at 95% or higher. The material is handled according to strict safety protocols to ensure stability and efficacy in final consumer formulations.
