Escentia German Camomile Pure Essential Oil (Matricaria recutita) is a single-ingredient essential oil valued for its naturally blue colour and its use in aromatherapy, diluted skin blends, and scalp or haircare formulations. It is commonly chosen where a more soothing, calming botanical oil is wanted for external-use blends. This is a pure essential oil, not a pre-diluted body oil or hydrosol. The distinctive blue tone is due to the natural occurrence of chamazulene, which makes it easy to tell apart from many other essential oils.
♡ Why we love it: German camomile is one of those beautiful speciality oils that feels both gentle and deeply characterful at the same time. Its rich blue colour and calming aromatic profile make it especially appealing for thoughtful skin, scalp, and body blends.
