Chamomile extract

Chamomile extract (CAS 84082-60-0), also supplied under the botanical designations Matricaria chamomilla ext. and Matricaria recutita ext., is a plant-derived extract obtained from the flowers of German chamomile.

It delivers characteristic floral, herbaceous, and mildly sweet notes used as a flavoring agent across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it is incorporated into herbal teas and infusions.

The extract is also used in confectionery and functional drinks where a recognizable chamomile flavor profile is required. Personal care formulators use it in skin creams, lotions, shampoos, and toners to contribute fragrance.

It provides botanical positioning to finished products across various industries. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into oral dosage forms, herbal supplements, and liquid preparations for flavoring.

It also appears in aromatherapy blends and cosmetic fragrance compounds targeting natural or botanical-positioned product lines. Chamomile extract is available as a liquid extract, dry powder, and concentrated paste.

Liquid forms are typically supplied in aqueous, hydroglycolic, or glycerin-based carriers. Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with some suppliers offering material compliant with FCC requirements.

Other available grades may meet Ph. Eur. monograph requirements for specific pharmaceutical applications. Organic-certified material is commercially available for formulators targeting certified natural or organic end products.
