Background:
Chamomile is one of the oldest and most well-known at home remedies that was used as far back as the time of Hippocrates. The Egyptians, from their belief in its power to cure ague (fever), used it as an offering to their gods. The calming effect of chamomile has been proposed in the broadest meaning of the term.
Chamomilla Recutita is the INCI designation for German or Wild Chamomile for which the correct Latin name is Matricaria recutita (L.). German chamomile, a member of the Asteracaea family, which includes sunflowers, is native to Europe and western Asia, but has also been naturalized in North America. The word chamomile comes from Greek roots with ‘chamos’ meaning ground and ‘melos’ meaning apple. It is a small herb that has wide spread roots and can grow up to 2 feet high. The small white flowers, typically bloom in early summer and have a scent that is reminiscent of apples.
Organic Chamomile SNO consists of organic chamomile extracted in sunflower oil. This process provides a product that can be easily incorporated into anhydrous applications including lip products, serums and numerous emulsions. Since this is an oily extraction, no odor of Chamomile will be in the product.
