German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
German Chamomile Essential Oil, also known as Blue Chamomile , is a deeply calming and therapeutic oil steam-distilled from the delicate blossoms of Matricaria recutita . Its fragrance is herbaceous, sweet, and slightly fruity , with a warm earthy undertone.
This oil is instantly recognizable by its deep blue color , which comes from the presence of chamazulene , a rare compound formed during distillation that gives German Chamomile its powerful anti-inflammatory qualities.
At Herbsmetics, German Chamomile is presented in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests learn how its rich herbal depth and therapeutic profile contrast with the lighter, sweeter Roman Chamomile.
