Product Overview

German Chamomile Essential Oil—celebrated worldwide as Blue Chamomile for its striking, naturally occurring deep sapphire-blue hue—is a velvety, deeply soothing botanical essential oil steam-distilled from the flowering heads of Matricaria chamomilla. Its signature ink-blue color comes from chamazulene, a potent azulenic compound formed naturally during steam distillation from matricin, complemented by high levels of skin-calming (-)-alpha-bisabolol. Olfactorily, it delivers a rich, warm, sweet-herbaceous and fruity-apple bouquet layered with honeyed-straw, earthy tea-leaf, tobacco, and soft woody-balsamic undertones.
