Concern level

High concern

Steam-distilled volatile oil from German chamomile flower heads. It is primarily used as a fragrance/skin-conditioning ingredient and is associated with soothing, calming cosmetic positioning; CIR notes it is used in cosmetics within reported concentrations up to 0.29% and concludes chamomile-derived ingredients are safe in current practices when formulated to be nonsensitizing.
