What it is — Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract (INCI: Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract), also known as chamomile flower extract, is a plant-derived, soothing botanical.

What it does — It is commonly used to help calm and comfort the look of sensitive or irritated skin and scalp.

Typical use — It appears in calming toners, essences, creams, masks and baby- or body-care products as a supporting soothing botanical.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for sensitive or reactive skin. Chamomile is in the daisy (Asteraceae) family, so people with ragweed or daisy allergies may want to patch-test first.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products. It isn't a third party's proprietary score, and it isn't medical advice. Always read the packaging and patch-test where indicated.
