Chamomile oil

Chamomile oil (CAS 8002-66-2), also sold as Matricaria Oil and Matricaria Flower Oil, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from chamomile flowers. In commercial applications, it functions as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent.

This versatile oil also serves as a skin-conditioning component across multiple industries. In personal care, it is incorporated into creams, serums, and hair care products where its soothing profile supports sensitive-skin formulations.

Flavor houses use it, referenced under FEMA 2273, to impart characteristic floral-herbaceous notes to teas, confectionery, and botanical beverages. It provides a distinct profile for high-end food and drink applications.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into topical preparations and oral care products where a natural, plant-derived active is required. These formulations often rely on the oil for its traditional therapeutic associations.

Home care formulators use it as a fragrance contributor in fabric softeners and mild cleaning products targeting natural or botanical positioning. It adds a premium, calming scent to various household chemical products.

The oil is supplied as a liquid, typically ranging from pale blue to deep blue in color depending on chamazulene content and processing method. It is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications for global trade.

Quality benchmarks are aligned to Ph. Eur. monographs for pharmaceutical buyers. This ensures the product meets rigorous international standards for purity and composition in medical and health-related applications.

Supply is offered in small packaging for specialty formulators through to bulk drums for industrial-scale procurement. This flexibility allows the chemical to be utilized by both boutique brands and large manufacturers.
