Chamomile bring up images of Peter Rabbit getting his fortifying chamomile tea after that harrowing adventure with the farmer. And images of a medieval German village with miniature daisy-looking flowers dotting the countryside. Images of chamomile never included a very blue (think: Blue Man color blue) essential oil that doesn't smell especially nice. But that's chamomile: all of the above...plus some amazing properties for your skin. Chamomile essential oil is anti-inflammatory, skin softening and has properties to promote healing. Soothes irritated skin, reduces puffiness, cleanse pores, promotes tissue regeneration. There's a Roman and a German Chamomile; Roman is considered more calming and German more anti-inflammatory -- and the German gets bonus points because it's BLUE. Both are great for skin problems from acne to wrinkles to eczema. A powerhouse for a miniature daisy-like flower.
