Chamomile Oil Blue Egypt (CAS: 8002-66-2), also known as German Chamomile Essential Oil, is an essential oil extracted via steam distillation from the flowers of Matricaria recutita (Chamomilla recutita). It is characterized by its distinctive deep blue color, which is attributed to its high chamazulene content, a potent anti-inflammatory compound. The oil possesses a warm, sweet, herbaceous, and slightly fruity aroma. It is highly valued in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and traditional medicine for its therapeutic properties.
Primarily used for its anti-inflammatory, calming, soothing, antispasmodic, and mild sedative effects. It finds extensive use in skincare formulations, aromatherapy, perfumery, and as a natural remedy for various ailments.
