Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile essential oil is a gentle, soothing ingredient widely used in British skincare and haircare. Known for its calming floral scent and mild nature, it is a favourite in creams, serums, balms and bath products for those seeking to comfort and balance the skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, chamomile essential oil is valued for its ability to soothe and condition the skin and scalp. Its naturally occurring constituents help to reduce the appearance of redness and calm irritation, making it a popular choice in sensitive-skin formulations, cleansing balms, moisturisers and hair treatments. When properly diluted it blends beautifully with other botanical oils and adds a delicate herbal-floral note to fragrance profiles.
