What are the benefits of chamomile for the skin?

Chamomile, also known by its scientific name of Chamomilla recut, belongs to the Asteraceae family. A perennial herbaceous plant, it is recognised by its yellow and white flowers standing alone on a stem. It comes in various varieties, such as German chamomile, great chamomile or even Roman chamomile, the most widespread in cosmetics.

From its flowers, steam distillation allows the extraction of two distinct fractions, the essential oil and the hydrosol, both of which are used for cosmetic applications.

When applied topically, chamomile possesses several virtues:

• Rich in flavonoids, active ingredients with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial properties, this spring flower soothes irritations such as psoriasis and eczema. It is therefore recommended for daily care of sensitive skin prone to irritations and redness.

• It soothes the burning sensations associated with excessive sun exposure.

• It revitalises dull complexions and restores radiance to tired skin.
