German Chamomile Essential Oil (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a concentrated natural aromatic product with a characteristic deep blue colour and a soft, warm, fruity-floral and herbaceous scent. Matricaria chamomilla L. is the accepted botanical name according to Plants of the World Online, Kew, and World Flora Online.
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowers or flowering aerial parts of the plant. Its deep blue colour is associated with chamazulene, which is formed during distillation from naturally occurring precursors in the plant.
German Chamomile Essential Oil is used in professional cosmetic, soap, aromatic and specialised formulations where a delicate herbal-floral profile and a softer aromatic character are desired. Scientific sources describe key volatile constituents of Matricaria chamomilla L. essential oil such as α-bisabolol, bisabolol oxides A and B, chamazulene, β-farnesene and other sesquiterpenes, with composition varying by origin, plant material and distillation conditions.
