## About
Some of the best things on the shelf refuse to pour. This German chamomile is a CO2 total, carrying all the oil-soluble parts of the flower, and it looks nothing like the traditional blue oil: picture a deep, dark green or brownish green semi-solid with a pasty texture and specks of what seem to be plant matter. It does not turn blue.It is Matricaria recutita, organically produced and CO2 extracted from the flowers in Germany. Its odor is more natural and fruity than the distilled oil's, and it does not take over the scent of a skin care blend the way traditional matricaria can. It is rich in matricin, the precursor of chamazulene, and very high in alpha-bisabolol. A little goes a very long way: the producer recommends just 0.1 to 0.3 percent.DetailsBotanical name: Matricaria recutita (syn.
