Escentia Blue Camomile Oil is a premium essential oil prized for its distinctive deep blue colour, which results from the naturally occurring compound chamazulene. This 20ml bottle contains pure German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) essential oil, steam-distilled from the delicate flower heads of the plant.
Blue chamomile is widely regarded as one of the most soothing essential oils available. Its rich chamazulene content gives it notable anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy for calming irritated skin and supporting the body's natural response to inflammation. It is frequently used in skincare formulations targeting sensitive, reactive, or redness-prone skin.
In aromatherapy, blue chamomile oil is valued for its deeply relaxing aroma, which carries warm, herbaceous, and slightly sweet notes. It is commonly diffused or added to carrier oils for massage blends aimed at easing tension, promoting restful sleep, and supporting emotional balance during periods of stress.
This essential oil blends well with lavender, ylang ylang, clary sage, bergamot, and geranium, allowing for versatile use in custom aromatherapy blends. Due to its potency and concentrated nature, only a few drops are typically needed per application.
As with all essential oils, blue chamomile should be diluted in a suitable carrier oil before topical application. A patch test is recommended for those with sensitive skin. Not recommended for internal use. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the oil's therapeutic properties and extend shelf life.
