Herbal Strength: This is a 20:1 strength German Chamomile powder extracted into a glycerin base at approx. 1%.
Dose Rate: Chamomile extract is generally regarded as safe but there are a few people who have experienced skin reactions to chamomile extract and as such we recommend patch testing before use. Typical concentrations of extract in a skin care product would be between 0.2-10%.
Action: The main soothing active in chamomile is extracted in the oil (bisabolol) however, there are a range of additional flavones that contribute to the soothing effect that are found in the dried flower including flavone glycosides (apigenin-7 glucoside), Flavonols (quercetin glycosides and luteolin glycosides).
Useage rate: A dose rate of between 0.1-3% in your product is appropriate for a gentle soothing action. You can use up to 5% for a stronger action but be aware of the potential for skin irritation at higher rates.
Water soluble. Add to water based products after cooling. Not soluble in oil but can be used in an emulsion.
Please note: Glycerine based extracts are sold in grams/kilograms and not millilitres/Litres. Glycerine extracts have a specific gravity greater than 1.00, this means that they are more dense or heavier than water and 1g/1Kg will not equal 1ml/1Lt.
