Chamomilla Recutita (German chamomile) Flower/Leaf Extract is a plant-derived ingredient valued for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, attributed to constituents such as bisabolol, chamazulene, and flavonoids like apigenin. It is commonly used in skincare to reduce irritation, redness, and sensitivity.
