Chamomile German
Part of our Oils range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
German Chamomile Oil, also called Blue Chamomile Oil, is an essential oil steam distilled from the flower heads of Matricaria chamomilla (also known as Matricaria recutita). It is famous for its deep ink-blue colour and its sweet, herbaceous, hay-like aroma, and it is widely valued in skin care, baby care, cosmetics and aromatherapy.
Arizone International supplies German Chamomile Oil for skin care brands, cosmetic manufacturers, aromatherapy companies and private label businesses.
Why It Is Blue
The fresh chamomile flower does not contain the blue colour. During steam distillation, a compound called matricine breaks down into chamazulene, which is deep blue. The amount of chamazulene affects both the colour and the value of the oil. Over time, and with exposure to air and light, the colour slowly changes from blue to green and then brown.
About the Plant
German chamomile is an annual herb with small daisy-like flowers and a sweet, apple-like smell. It is native to Europe and western Asia and is grown in Egypt, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Nepal and India. In India, it is cultivated in Uttar Pradesh and some other northern states, and the dried flowers are widely used for herbal tea. The oil yield is very low, often well below 1%, which makes the oil costly.

Traditional Use and Research
Chamomile has been used for centuries in European folk tradition to soothe the skin and to support calm and restful sleep, mostly as a tea. The European Medicines Agency recognises chamomile flower preparations as traditional herbal medicines for certain minor complaints. Laboratory studies have explored chamazulene and bisabolol for anti-inflammatory activity. These are not claims for this specific product.
Safety and Dilution
German chamomile oil is generally mild but should always be diluted before use. People allergic to plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae), such as ragweed or arnica, may react. A patch test is recommended. Chamomile may interact with some medicines, including blood thinners. Not for internal use. Keep out of reach of children.

Compliance
During distillation, matricine in the flowers turns into chamazulene, a deep blue compound. It slowly turns green and brown with age and air.
They come from different plants. German chamomile is blue and herbaceous, while Roman chamomile is pale yellow with a sweet, apple-like scent.
The flowers give very little oil, often well below 1%, so a large harvest is needed for a small amount of oil.
