ExcarePharm Plant Extracts | Chamomile Extract Specifications & Supporting Benefits

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita L.) is an annual plant in the Asteraceae family, native to the

temperate regions of Asia and Europe. With a history of use spanning thousands of years in

Greece, Rome, and ancient Egypt, chamomile was primarily employed to alleviate stomach

ailments, spasms, and dermatitis. This plant possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant,

wound-healing, calming, soothing, and sleep-promoting properties, making it a medicinal and

aromatic herb of significant development potential.

Chamomile Extract Source & Specification:

Flower parts of German Chamomile; Apigenin 1.2% (HPLC).

Calming & Anti-inflammatory: Chamomile extract inhibits the release of inflammatory factors,

reducing skin redness, swelling, itching, and other inflammatory reactions. It is particularly

suitable for sensitive skin types, eczema, or post-sun exposure repair. Studies indicate its

anti-inflammatory effects are gentler and safer than some common anti-inflammatory

ingredients.

Soothing Sensitivity & Anti-allergenic: Chamomile extract alleviates skin or mucosal allergic

symptoms triggered by allergens (e.g., pollen, dust mites). Some research also suggests it

can enhance skin barrier function, reducing sensitivity to external irritants.

Antioxidant & Anti-aging: Rich in flavonoids, it scavenges free radicals, slows collagen

degradation caused by UV exposure and pollution, and delays skin aging. Certain in vitro

studies show its antioxidant capacity approaches that of vitamin C derivatives.
