A floral, sweet terpene also found in chamomile, associated with skin-soothing and potential anti-inflammatory properties.
Alpha-bisabolol is a gentle, floral terpene with a sweet, honey-like aroma. Best known as the primary active compound in chamomile essential oil, bisabolol is widely used in skincare products for its soothing and skin-healing properties. In cannabis, it appears as a secondary terpene contributing subtle floral sweetness.
Bisabolol has been extensively studied in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Research has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antimicrobial, and analgesic properties. A study in the European Journal of Pharmacology found that bisabolol had gastroprotective effects in animal models. Its ability to enhance the skin penetration of other compounds makes it particularly valuable in topical cannabis products, where it may improve the absorption of cannabinoids through the skin.
Strains with notable bisabolol content include ACDC, Headband, OG Shark, Harle-Tsu, and Pink Kush. Bisabolol is particularly valued in cannabis topicals, balms, and skincare products where its natural skin-soothing properties complement the anti-inflammatory effects of cannabinoids. For consumers who enjoy subtle, floral cannabis with a calming character, bisabolol-rich strains offer a gentle, well-rounded experience.
