Bisabolol is a cannabis terpene boasting a delicately sweet and floral aroma with hints of citrus and spice. Commonly found in German chamomile and the South American candeia tree, bisabolol is widely used in cosmetics, fragrances, and skin care products.

Bisabolol may contribute to the soothing effects of cannabis, and is often a major constituent in various cannabis infused topicals. The anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties of bisabolol can potentially treat a variety of skin conditions. Bisabolol also acts as an antioxidant, contributing to the overall medicinal benefits cannabis may provide.

Bisabolol proves to be key component in the broad spectrum of terpenes and cannabinoids that maximize the therapeutic effects cannabis may provide.
