SOURCE OF ALPHA-BISABOLOL

α-bisabolol is mainly found in the German Chamomile. However, its global production comes from the 12-Year-Old Candeia Tree. A large tree can yield approximately 11kg of Candeia oil. For this reason, the world is facing scarcity of naturally produced bisabolol. Even though a synthetic variant of alpha bisabolol is available in the market, the natural version is always in high demand.

​

1 kg of naturally extracted bisabolol contains 950g active bisabolols. This is way better than synthetic bisabolol because 1 kg of synthetic bisabolol contains about 500g or less active bisabolol.
