Chamomile, Blue (Matricaria recutita) Essential Oil, Certified Organic

BOZNIA and HERZEGOVINA. Blue Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Essential Oil, Steam Distilled, Certified Organic

Matricaria recutita, also known as German Chamomile, produces an essential oil with a high content of the compound azulene, which gives it a blue color. Its scent is warm and sweet, with a slight undertone of fruit. Aromatically it is considered a middle note for blending.

Blue Chamomile essential oil is valued for its calming properties and its soothing, antiseptic actions for skin care. Properly prepared, it can play a role in treating conditions such as acne, eczema, and diaper rash, or added to bath formulas. Its anti-inflammatory action is both gentle and powerful, and it can be helpful for addressing many painful issues.

Our essential oils are sold in amber glass bottles with a dropper orifice for drop-by-drop administration. Do not ingest essential oils unless under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner or experienced aromatherapist. Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil before being applied to the skin. (Some examples of carrier oils: Jojoba, Sunflower, Grapeseed, Rosehip Seed, Castor, and Avocado; gently liquified Coconut Oil, Shea, or Cocoa Butter can also work for creating thicker body care products.) Always test the diluted essential oil on a small patch of skin before applying more widely.

Maximum recommended dilution for adults: 4% (four drops per teaspoon of carrier oil). Use in moderation. Avoid in cases of ragweed allergy.
