Details
Properties
Anti-inflammatory, soothing: Preventing the onset of an inflammation process by inhibiting the release of histamine and blocking the entry of Ca2+ into mast cells and basophils, due to the presence of chamazulene in its composition, thus relieving sensitive skin prone to redness and allergies;
Antioxidant, anti-radical: Trapping free radicals by acting as non-enzymatic inhibitors of lipid oxidation, a property attributed to flavonoids;
Healing, regenerating: Promote cellular repair by locally stimulating the synthesis of prostaglandins and the renewal of cells;
Vasodilatory, brightening: Increasing blood flow to the skin by relaxing the walls of the blood vessels, an effect primarily due to bisabolol and to a lesser extent bisabolol oxides, for a luminous skin.
Applications
Facial Care (serums, lotions, makeup removers);
Body Care (soothing after-sun milks);
Haircare (hair masks, shampoos, detangling conditioners, lotions).
