Matricaria recutita L. (syn. Matricaria chamomilla) — German Chamomile Oil, Blue Chamomile
German chamomile essential oil is prized for its deep blue colour — a result of the chamazulene formed during steam distillation of the flowering tops. The oil is valued across pharmaceutical, cosmetic and aromatherapy applications for its soothing properties and warm, sweet, herbaceous character with a characteristic fruity-apple undertone that distinguishes it from other chamomile varieties.
Bioform cultivates Matricaria recutita on certified organic land in Bulgaria's Rose Valley and distils the flowering tops on site, preserving the oil's full chamazulene content and aromatic integrity. Each batch is verified by GC-MS analysis and supplied with complete documentation, ensuring consistent quality for formulators working in skincare, nutraceutical and therapeutic applications.
