Chamomile German Essential Oil - Skin Soothing & Calming

Deep blue, deeply therapeutic, and unmistakably potent. Valley of the Moon's Chamomile German essential oil is steam distilled from Matricaria chamomilla in Bulgaria, producing one of aromatherapy's most prized and visually striking oils. Its vivid blue color, a result of its exceptional azulene content, signals the same powerful anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties that make German Chamomile the preferred choice for sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin. Rich, herbaceous, and gently calming, this is an oil that works as beautifully on the body as it does on the spirit.
