- Add to the oil phase — insoluble in water, so aqueous formulas need an emulsifier or surfactant system
- Not a preservative — antimicrobial activity supports the formula but does not replace a preservative system
- Any change in physical state is caused by temperature and will not affect the properties — warm in a water bath at a maximum of 70°C to restore
- Bisabolol provides strong calming and anti-inflammatory support for sensitive and reactive animal skin
- Contains Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (tea tree oil) — observe recommended use levels, as tea tree oil can be sensitizing at higher concentrations
- Species suitability should always be confirmed before use — verify the target animal and finished use level before scaling a batch
