What is Roman Chamomile and how does it benefit skin?
Steam-distilled from the flowers of Anthemis nobilis — Roman Chamomile, the most prized of the chamomile varieties for therapeutic application. Rich in esters, particularly isobutyl angelate, which produce an exceptionally sweet, apple-like floral aroma. Clinically associated with reduced anxiety and improved sleep quality. Used in our Harmony collection for its profound effect on the nervous system.
Roman Chamomile has a higher ester content than German Chamomile — typically 75–80% — which is what gives it the distinctly sweet, fruity-floral character and accounts for its superior calming properties. Unlike German Chamomile, it does not contain azulene, but its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties are well documented and considered among the most effective of all botanical essences used in aromatherapy.
