Chamomile Oil
Matricaria chamomilla (German) / Chamaemelum nobile (Roman)
Gentle Soothing for Skin, Hair & Mind
Steam-distilled from delicate chamomile flowers, this pale-blue (German) or golden (Roman) essential oil is rich in bisabolol and chamazulene—potent anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and calming compounds. Ideal for sensitive, irritated, or eczema-prone skin, it reduces redness, heals minor wounds, and calms rosacea. For hair, it soothes itchy scalps and adds shine to dry strands. Aromatherapy favorite: Diffuse to ease anxiety, promote sleep, or relieve tension headaches. Always dilute (1–2% in carrier oils) for topical use. Shelf-stable for 3–5 years; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Ethically sourced from organic farms in Egypt (German) and France (Roman), wild-harvested at peak bloom. Unadulterated and perfect for formulations prioritizing gentle, holistic care. 🌼
Key Uses:
- Skin: Calming serums, baby care balms, after-sun recovery.
- Hair: Scalp treatments for dandruff or sensitivity.
- Aromatherapy: Blend with lavender for sleep or peppermint for focus.
Safety: Patch-test first. Avoid during pregnancy (Roman chamomile is safer than German).
Tip: Mix with aloe vera gel and rosewater for a soothing face mist, or add to oatmeal baths for irritated skin.
