Constituents
Aromatic & Historical Inspiration
Early morning flower harvests capture the highest matricine content, imparting the oil’s signature cool, oceanic-blue color. German Chamomile is distinct from Roman Chamomile, whose golden hue evokes sunshine, whereas this blue essence is unflappable, cooling, and calming for both skin and spirit.
"An authentic essential oil of the alpha-bisabolol type, make it one of the most valuable essential oils... Addition of German Chamomile essential oil to face and body oils always works."
~ Kurt Schnaubelt, The Intelligence of Essential Oils
