Laura, sorry to hear about your bad experience. It’s a shame this ingredient isn’t better known. It’d be easier to avoid for those allergic to it.

OMG – that explains why I had an issue with it, too! Ended up throwing it away. I have found mineral makeup to be the only thing I don’t have a reaction to!

I’m allergic to plants in the aster family – ragweed, chicory and chamomille. I just had yet another bad reaction to something, had to research what bisabolol was and yep, it’s chamomille!

Amanda, I’m sorry to hear about your allergy. Were you ever tested for laytex? If not, then bisabolol may be the culprit. But the only way to know for sure is to have tests done.

I had an allergic reaction to this toothpaste, which lead me here because of the ingredient bisabolol and not knowing what it was. My mouth and tongue are swollen, I can only guess it is hives in my mouth.
I have been told I am allergic to laytex after breaking out in hives from make up and shampoos on different occasions.

I am curious if bisabolol is the culprit of the hives given my past reactions and the fact that it is added to cosmetics and other things. And maybe I’m not allergic to laytex at all.

Anna, it’s hard to tell but personally I wouldn’t risk it. Opting for bisabobol free products may be best for you.
