Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract is derived from chamomile flowers and is used in skincare for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, largely attributed to compounds such as bisabolol, chamazulene, and apigenin. It is commonly added to calm irritated or sensitive skin.
