OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Our Chamomile Essential Oil is derived through meticulous steam distillation of the vibrant white and yellow flowers of Matricaria recutita (syn. Matricaria chamomilla), grown amidst the picturesque landscapes of Egypt. Known for its distinctive deep azure, blue hue, this essential oil exudes a warm, sweet, fruity, and full-bodied herbaceous aroma.

The Matricaria recutita is a petite herbaceous annual plant reaching heights of 60-90 cm. Due to the high demand for its flowers in pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors, there has been considerable interest in cultivating this plant to meet the growing need for raw materials and bridge the gap between supply and demand.

During the distillation process of Matricaria recutita flowers, one of the essential oil constituents, Matricin (a sesquiterpene), undergoes decomposition into Chamazulene due to the heat and pressure applied. This transformation results in the characteristic deep vivid blue color of German ‘Blue’ Chamomile Essential Oil. Renowned for its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response, this oil finds versatile applications, including promoting relaxation, supporting joint function, and facilitating deep, restful sleep.
