Is this the same as Roman chamomile?

No. This is German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), which is darker, more intensely sweet-herbal and more often used for skin repair. Roman chamomile is lighter and fruitier.

How should I use it on skin?

Dilute it in a carrier oil before applying; a drop or two per tablespoon is typical. Do not apply it neat, and patch-test first if your skin is sensitive.

Why is the oil dark blue-green?

German chamomile contains chamazulene, a compound formed during extraction that gives the oil its deep blue color. It is normal and a sign of a genuine CO2 extract.

Does it smell like chamomile tea?

It is related but stronger and more herbal, with a sweet-fruity edge. Expect a concentrated plant smell rather than a mild tea aroma.

Can I use it in a diffuser?

Yes, though the scent is heavy, so use fewer drops than you would with lavender or citrus. It blends well with lavender, cedarwood and citrus oils.

Our take on the Edens Garden Chamomile German Essential Oil

This is a 10 ml bottle of German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) essential oil, extracted by CO2 rather than steam distillation. CO2 extraction pulls out a deeper, darker blue-green oil with a strong sweet, fruity, herbal scent, and it is the chamomile type most used for calming irritated skin. It is a single-note oil for people who blend their own skincare or aromatherapy, not a ready-made product. Against Roman chamomile, German is more intense and better suited to skin repair blends; against lavender, it is far more expensive per drop and used sparingly.

Best forPeople blending calming skincare for sensitive or irritated skinAromatherapy users who want a true German chamomile noteAnyone building a small essential oil kit for sleep and stress blendsBuyers who prefer single-ingredient, synthetic-free oils
