Ernesi 1978 products have always been formulated with carefully selected ingredients and botanical extracts, harnessing the power of nature to deliver high-quality performance. Among these, bisabolol has become one of the most valued active ingredients thanks to its soothing and calming properties.
But what exactly is bisabolol, and why do we include it in our cosmetic formulations? Keep reading to find out!
What is bisabolol?
Bisabolol is a naturally occurring ingredient, more specifically a terpene, primarily extracted from chamomile essential oil.
It is well known for its excellent skin tolerability, making it a popular choice in cosmetic formulations designed for sensitive, reactive or easily irritated skin.
Bisabolol: properties and benefits
Bisabolol has become a highly valued cosmetic ingredient thanks to scientific research demonstrating its antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Its primary role in skincare formulations is to soothe and calm red, irritated skin while helping support hydration and the skin's natural barrier function.
When incorporated into a daily skincare routine, bisabolol helps improve the skin's overall appearance, leaving it looking healthier, more radiant and more even-toned.
Where can you find bisabolol?
Bisabolol is an extremely versatile ingredient suitable for all skin types. It can be found in a wide variety of cosmetic products, especially when combined with other soothing and hydrating ingredients such as panthenol, natural moisturizing factors (NMF), hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
Bisabolol is particularly beneficial in products designed for:
- sensitive, reactive or irritated skin
- babies' delicate skin, including diaper care
- post-waxing and aftershave care
- red, itchy or dandruff-prone scalp
-
acne-prone skin
- post-sun skincare
- skin recovering from aggressive cosmetic treatments
Thanks to its excellent skin tolerability, bisabolol is also suitable for daily use, both in the morning and as part of an evening skincare routine, helping maintain healthy, balanced and even-looking skin.
It is particularly beneficial when used alongside more potent active ingredients, such as exfoliating acids or retinoids, helping minimize irritation, dryness and skin discomfort.
Why choose bisabolol instead of chamomile essential oil?
Choosing a single active compound extracted from chamomile, rather than using the whole essential oil, helps ensure greater stability and long-lasting performance in cosmetic formulations.
This approach also minimizes the risk of skin sensitization and allergic reactions while maximizing bisabolol's soothing benefits, making it a safe and effective choice even for sensitive skin.

After cleansing, The Hyaluron Gel provides long-lasting hydration and an immediate lifting effect, leaving the skin looking radiant, smooth and supple throughout the day. Enriched with panthenol and bisabolol, this lightweight serum is suitable for all skin types, all ages and every season.
Among Ernesi 1978's iconic formulations, The Face Mask 78 and The Supernutrient Cream both contain bisabolol to complete your skincare routine with an immediate and long-lasting soothing effect, complementing exfoliating and hydrating treatments while helping restore skin comfort.
Conclusion
Bisabolol is one of the most valued soothing ingredients in natural cosmetics thanks to its ability to calm, protect and help restore the skin's natural balance.
Backed by scientific evidence, bisabolol has become a key ingredient in several of ERNESI 1978's signature formulations, delivering both effectiveness and exceptional skin tolerability.
