Discover Chamomile at Evergreen

Chamomile is a familiar botanical ingredient with a long history of traditional use. Recognised by its small white petals and yellow centre, this daisy-like flower is widely used in herbal infusions, aromatherapy products and skincare formulations.

At Evergreen, you can explore chamomile across several categories, from naturally caffeine-free herbal teas to fragrant essential oils and botanical skincare.

What Is Chamomile?

Chamomile is the common name for several related flowering plants in the daisy family. Two of the best-known varieties are German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile).

Both are valued for their aromatic flowers, although they differ in their botanical characteristics and the ways they're used. Chamomile flowers are commonly dried for herbal infusions, while extracts and essential oils are also used in a variety of personal care and aromatherapy products.

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea is one of the most familiar herbal infusions, enjoyed for its delicate floral flavour and gentle aroma.

Made by steeping dried chamomile flowers in hot water, pure chamomile tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a herbal alternative to traditional black or green tea.

Chamomile can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a botanical blend with ingredients such as lavender, lemon balm or mint.

Chamomile Essential Oils

Chamomile essential oils are aromatic oils extracted from the flowers of the chamomile plant. German and Roman chamomile essential oils have different aromatic profiles and are used in a range of aromatherapy products.

When choosing an essential oil, check the botanical name, ingredients and recommended use to make sure it's suitable for your needs.

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should always be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. They should not be applied undiluted to the skin unless the product is specifically formulated for that purpose.

Chamomile Skincare

Chamomile is also a popular ingredient in natural skincare, where extracts from the flowers are incorporated into products such as cleansers, creams, moisturisers and other facial and body care formulations.

It's often selected for skincare products designed to offer a gentle, comforting experience, particularly in formulas intended for dry or delicate-feeling skin.

However, botanical ingredients aren't automatically suitable for everyone. If you have sensitive skin or known plant allergies, check the ingredients before use.

German Chamomile vs Roman Chamomile

Although they share a common name, German and Roman chamomile are different plants.

German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)

German chamomile is widely used in herbal teas and botanical preparations. Its essential oil is known for its distinctive deep blue colour, which develops during distillation.

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)

Roman chamomile is another well-known variety, particularly associated with essential oils and aromatherapy products. It has a distinctive sweet, apple-like aroma.

When choosing chamomile products, particularly essential oils, it's worth checking the botanical name to understand which variety you're buying.
