Key Actives
An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin.

Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
