Botanicals & Herbs

Matricaria chamomilla / Chamaemelum nobile

Chamomile is one of the oldest and most universally beloved medicinal herbs in the world, with a history of use stretching back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Its small, daisy-like flowers, with their characteristic warm, apple-honey scent, have been used for centuries across Europe as a remedy for inflammation, irritation, and restlessness. In France, camomille tisane remains a household staple, sipped at the end of the day for calm and comfort.

In our skincare and haircare formulas, chamomile brings its centuries-old reputation for gentleness. It is one of the most reliable botanicals for sensitive or reactive skin and scalp, where its anti-inflammatory and calming properties are most needed.

How It Works

Chamomile's key active compound, alpha-bisabolol, is one of the most potent natural anti-inflammatory agents available in plant form. Combined with its apigenin content, a flavonoid with antioxidant and calming properties, chamomile is genuinely effective at reducing redness, irritation, and discomfort at the skin and scalp surface. It is gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types and compatible with virtually all formula types.
