Wild, rare, and quietly powerful, Living Libations Wild Moroccan Chamomile Essential Oil is a botanical anomaly that truly shines in skin care. Steam distilled from the delicate flowers of Ormenis multicaulis (also known as Ormenis mixtus), this chamomile cousin grows wild under the Moroccan sun and belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae.
Though often mistaken for Roman or German Chamomile, Wild Moroccan Chamomile is its own aromatic being. Its light, fresh floral scent carries herbaceous clarity with gentle balsamic whispers, offering a soothing yet clarifying presence. While its aroma is soft and inviting, its true brilliance reveals itself on the skin—where it is regarded as a versatile, do-all ally.
