Wild Chamomile Essential Oil contains blue hues yet merely mimics certain qualities of true chamomiles. This Ormenis variety appears to be more stringent than the ester–opulent Roman Chamomile and sesquiterpene-abundant German Chamomile. According to essential oil expert Kurt Schnaubelt, this strain of chamomile is a powerhouse for the skin, confirming to us that this unique essential oil is a skin do-all.
"This sweet-petaled flower, which closes as the dusk sky changes into deep velvet blue, is often mistaken for another... this fragrance reveals the true inner spirit, yet if required, will provide the camouflage sometimes needed to hide a sweet and tender-spirited heart."
