Certified Organic Blue Chamomile Essential Oil USDA Certified Organic German Chamomile Essential Oil Blue Chamomile Essential Oil Organic Blue German Chamomile Essential Oil Organic 5 ml

Organic blue chamomile oil is extracted from an annual plant with erected stems and alternate leaves divided in thin lashes, thicker and wider than those of Roman Chamomile, and 40 – 60 cm high. The oil is produced by water steam distillation with an average yield of 0.1%. This plant is native to the Balkans, and has been used in shampoos since the days of the Vikings, because it adds luster to the blond hair. It used to be cultivated in Hungary an exported to Germany to be distilled and used under tea form. Chamazulene, a strong anti-inflammatory compound, is produced during the distillation through the conversion of a sesquiterpene lactone called “Matricin”. It confers the characteristic blue color to the oil. The Oil is a deep blue liquid (sometimes viscous) with a strong medicinal, phenolic, sweet and fruity odor.  Its apple aroma is the characteristic fragrance in many herbal skin-care products, and it is the reason why this plant is called “Manzanilla” in Spain.  The high Bisabolol chemotypes are preferred for therapy and cosmetic uses, due to the activity of this sesquiterpene alcohol.  Want cash back on this purchase?
