Chamomile flower oil is produced through steam distillation. The process involves harvesting the chamomile flowers at their peak bloom. These flowers are then dried carefully to preserve their essential oil content. The dried flowers are placed in a distillation apparatus and subjected to high-pressure steam. The steam carries the volatile oil components of the chamomile flowers, separating them from the plant matter. This aromatic steam is then cooled, causing the essential oil to condense and separate from the water.Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritated skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Known for its calming effects, it can help reduce redness and inflammation, promoting a more even skin tone. Chamomile oil also possesses antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging. Additionally, it may help to improve skin hydration and elasticity, contributing to a softer and smoother complexion.
