Concern level

Moderate concern

Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil is a volatile essential oil obtained by steam distillation of chamomile flower material. It is used primarily as a fragrance component and for its soothing, skin-comforting profile. The oil contains a complex mixture of terpenes and oxygenated compounds, so composition can vary by source and distillation conditions. It is not a single chemical, but a botanical essential oil blend with potential anti-inflammatory and calming cosmetic uses.
