Chamomile (Roman) Oil

Chamomile (Roman) Oil, extracted from the flowers of the Anthemis nobilis plant through steam distillation, is celebrated for its light, sweet, apple-like fragrance. Roman Chamomile Oil is a gentle essential oil, held in high regard in aromatherapy and skincare for its soft, comforting character.

In aromatherapy, Roman Chamomile Oil is a beacon of tranquility, renowned for its soft, comforting aroma. Its mild nature makes it particularly popular for gentle formulations, offering a comforting scent.

The aroma is gentle, sweet and fruity, often compared to ripe apples, with a soft herbal warmth beneath it. Roman chamomile is also called English chamomile, and its botanical name is also written as Chamaemelum nobile, so it may be listed under either name. It is a light, quiet oil that blends easily and rarely overwhelms other scents, which makes it a good partner for floral and citrus oils.

The composition of Roman Chamomile Oil, rich in esters like butyl angelate and isobutyl angelate, gives the oil its distinctive light, sweet character.
