Product Overview
Chamomile Extract Powder is a highly concentrated botanical extract derived from the dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla L. (German chamomile), a member of the Asteraceae family. Renowned for its rich profile of bioactive compounds—including flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin), chamazulene, bisabolol, saponins, polysaccharides, and volatile oils—this extract delivers potent anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and sedative properties.
Widely utilized in traditional medicine, herbal supplements, functional foods, and cosmetic formulations, chamomile extract has been clinically studied for its therapeutic benefits in digestive health, skin care, stress relief, and sleep support. In Europe, chamomile-based ointments, creams, and lotions are commonly prescribed for dermatological conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and minor wounds.
Sourced from premium GAP-certified chamomile flowers, Botanical Essence’s Chamomile Extract Powder undergoes advanced extraction and purification to ensure high potency, purity, and consistency—meeting stringent international quality standards.
Key Active Compounds & Mechanisms of Action
Chamomile’s therapeutic efficacy stems from its bioactive constituents, including:
- Apigenin (≥1.0%) – A flavonoid with anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, supporting neurological and digestive health.
- Chamazulene & Bisabolol – Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe skin irritation, redness, and swelling.
- Volatile Oils – Provide antimicrobial and carminative properties, aiding in digestive comfort and respiratory relief.
- Polysaccharides – Enhance immune modulation and gut microbiome balance.
These compounds work synergistically to deliver broad-spectrum wellness benefits, making chamomile extract a versatile ingredient for nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and pharmaceutical applications.
