Chamomile Extract

Chamomile extract comes from the flowers of Chamomilla recutita, German chamomile, or Anthemis nobilis, Roman chamomile. Both have a long history in traditional medicine as soothing and anti-inflammatory plants, including use as tea, long before entering skincare. German chamomile contains chamazulene, which forms azulene, the deep blue compound that gives some chamomile-based products their color.

Chamomile's soothing reputation is supported by the real activity of several compounds, including bisabolol and the azulene family, with documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. They calm redness and reduce inflammatory signaling at the cellular level rather than merely creating an aromatic association with spa treatments. Some studies also report mild antimicrobial activity.

For sensitive, reactive or redness-prone skin, as well as anyone building a calming evening routine.

Chamomile belongs to the same plant family as ragweed. There is a rare but real risk of cross-allergy in people with ragweed sensitivity or known allergies to this plant family. This reaction is uncommon in the general population.
