What It Does
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract is derived from the flowers of German chamomile, a daisy-like plant prized for its high concentration of anti-inflammatory compounds including chamazulene, bisabolol, and apigenin. This extract is particularly valued in cosmetics for its gentle, soothing properties and ability to calm irritated or sensitive skin, making it a popular choice in baby products and sensitive skin formulations. The extract also provides a subtle, naturally sweet floral fragrance and contributes antioxidant protection through its flavonoid content.
