Soothing, anti-inflammatory, calming for sensitive skin, baby care, eczema relief, eye compress

About This Product

Chamomile hydrosol is the aromatic aqueous co-product from the steam distillation of Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) or German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) flowers for essential oil production. The resulting floral water retains the gentle, water-soluble therapeutic compounds of chamomile, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and trace amounts of chamazulene (imparting a faint blue tint to the fresh distillate). Chamomile hydrosol is the mildest form of chamomile therapy, gentle enough for baby care, eye compresses, and the most reactive skin conditions. Our chamomile hydrosol is produced from organically cultivated German chamomile flowers grown in Anhui Province, harvested at full bloom, and immediately distilled to capture the peak aromatic and therapeutic profile.
