Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) or German chamomile, also spelled camomile, is an annual plant of the composite family Asteraceae and is one of the most widely used herbs. It contains a volatile oil as well as flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin and patuletin-7-glycosides) and coumarins (umbelliferone and herniarin), with the volatile oil containing a-bisabolol, chamazulene as well as polyacetylenes and polysaccharides.
Chamomile has been used for centuries in skin care formulations.
Chamomile flowers can also be used to naturally color soaps and other products various shades of yellow.
Many colorants may be pH sensitive and can change or morph at high or low pH levels.
No final color is implied or guaranteed in any final formulation or soap. The customer is responsible for all testing in formulations.
