Organic Chamomile Essential Oil
Kosher LIFE's Organic chamomile essential oil is a gentle yet powerful oil derived from the flowers of chamomile plants. There are two primary types of chamomile used for essential oils:
Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile): Sweet, apple-like scent; known for calming properties.
German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla): Earthy, herbaceous aroma; recognized for its anti-inflammatory effects due to its rich azulene content, which gives the oil its blue hue.
Both types are highly valued in aromatherapy, skincare, and natural remedies.
Key Properties:
Aroma: Sweet, herbaceous, and slightly fruity (Roman); more robust and earthy (German).
Color: Light yellow to deep blue (German chamomile due to azulene).
Texture: Thin consistency.
Main Constituents:
Roman Chamomile: Esters like isobutyl angelate, isoamyl angelate.
German Chamomile: Chamazulene, bisabolol.
