Chamomile Extract

Chamomile extract (Matricaria recutita) provides apigenin, bisabolol, and chamazulene — compounds with well-documented anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It reduces histamine-driven redness and itching, calms eczema-prone and reactive skin, and supports barrier comfort. At 2–5% it is a classic in sensitive-skin moisturisers, baby care, and after-sun products. Genuine German chamomile is among the best-tolerated botanicals, though Compositae-allergic individuals should patch test. It shines when skin is stressed by weather, shaving, or over-treatment with actives. Think of it as a compress in a bottle — pharmacologically justified comfort.
