Matricaria Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract is a plant-derived ingredient used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-soothing properties, attributed to compounds such as bisabolol, chamazulene, and flavonoids. It is commonly added to formulations intended to calm irritation and redness.
