Of Interest
Blue chamomile oil has a higher azulene content than Roman chamomile oil. This constituent also gives the oil its characteristic blue colour. The azulene is not present in the fresh flower but is produced during the process of distillation.
Chamomile Differences
-Blue Chamomile essential oil has a high content of azulene, the active organic compound of chamomile, which bears a blue colour. Azulene has anti-inflammatory, skin healing properties. This oil is most suitable as an ingredient for skincare products. Blue chamomile is derived from the German chamomile plant, which is an upright growing annual. There are German chamomile plants that were bred for a high azulene content to use in the manufacturing of medicinal chamomile products.
-Roman Chamomile essential oil is used for its skin healing properties in the manufacturing of body care products, as well as for aromatherapy. It has a very pleasant, soothing, apple-like aroma. The Roman chamomile plant is a low-growing, perennial ground cover.
-Moroccan Chamomile essential oil is not from a true chamomile plant. It is used mainly in perfume blends, and for aromatherapy. The plant is an annual that grows in the Mediterranean and in the Middle East. This is a product new to the market, it does not have a long history of traditional uses like true chamomile.
