Frequently asked questions
What is Chamomile Blue essential oil?
Also called German chamomile, it is a 100% pure essential oil (INCI: Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil), steam distilled from the dried flower heads of Matricaria recutita. It comes from Egypt, India and the EU.
Why is German chamomile oil blue, and how does it differ from Roman chamomile?
The deep blue colour comes from chamazulene, which forms during steam distillation. Blue (German) chamomile is a different plant from Roman chamomile, with a richer, sweet-herbaceous, hay-like scent, while Roman is lighter, fruitier and apple-like.
Can Chamomile Blue oil be used in food?
Yes, it is food flavouring grade under EU Regulation 1334/2008, subject to the usual formulation considerations. An SDS, IFRA certificate, EU allergen declaration, food allergen declaration and typical GC are available; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
