Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in compounds such as bisabolol, chamazulene, and flavonoids, used in skincare for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is commonly added to formulations aimed at sensitive, irritated, or reactive skin.

| Contact urticaria | Rare | Hives may occur in those with chamomile or pollen allergies. |
| Eye irritation | Rare | Reported with eye-area products or accidental ocular contact. |
