Chamomile German CO2 SE Extract
Chamomile German CO2 SE (select) Extract contains Alpha Bisabolol, Matricine, and other beneficial constituents that have been carefully extracted from Chamomilla recutita (Matricaria) Flower.
Alpha Bisabolol and Matricine provide Chamomile German CO2 SE Extract with powerful anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Alpha Bisabolol is well known and documented as an anti-inflammatory in skin care applications. Alpha Bisabolol is antifungal and antibacterial. Studies with Alpha Bisabolol have demonstrated a reduced healing time in skin burns.
Matricine is a precurser to blue-colored chamazulene which is a product of steam distillation. Matricine has been found to have superior anti-inflammatory qualities and it's integrity has been maintained by the CO2 extraction process. Matricine gives this lovely dark green oil its color.
Chamomile German SE CO2 Extract is excellent for almost any anti-inflammatory or skin soothing formula.
Our Chamomile German CO2 SE Extract was extracted using pure and environmentally friendly supercritical fluid (natural Carbon Dioxide) extraction technique.
