Chamomile extract

Chamomile is a small herbaceous plant, 20-40 cm tall, widely distributed in Europe and northern Asia. The plant is characterized by typical flowers gathered in flower heads: the peripheral ones are white and elongated while the central ones have a tubular shape and are yellow in color. The earliest evidence of the use of Chamomile in traditional medicine and cosmetics dates back to the Egyptians and Greeks. Thanks to its emollient, soothing, and antimicrobial action, it is one of the main raw materials used in cosmetics. The high skin tolerance characteristic makes chamomile extract (CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA EXTRACT) suitable for sensitive and delicate skin, including for newborns and individuals affected by couperose.
