About this product
Most German chamomile arrives inky blue. This one does not, and that is the point. It is a CO2 select extract of Matricaria recutita, ethically farmed and extracted in Germany: a pourable liquid, a little thicker than the distilled oil but far thinner than vetiver or the resinous oils.
Its chemistry is its character. In distillation, the matricine naturally present in the herb turns into chamazulene, which gives distilled German chamomile its deep blue color. In this CO2 select, the matricine remains. And alpha-bisabolol, present at less than one percent in our distilled oil, makes up more than 43 percent here, lending the extract a sweet floral aroma that makes it a pleasure to blend. Our German chamomile CO2 total is rich in plant waxes and very thick; this select is the easy, pourable one.
