CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT.

Valuable CAS 84082-60-0 / ANTIMICROBIAL

A concentrated botanical extract derived from German Chamomile, engineered to provide rapid inflammatory relief and barrier restoration. This precise extract is rich in bioactive terpenoids and flavonoids that calm reactive skin while significantly enhancing cellular hydration.

Summary

Soothing Antioxidant Skin Conditioning Antimicrobial

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operates via multi-pathway modulation of the inflammatory response, specifically inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Its primary constituents, bisabolol and chamazulene, suppress NF-kB and MAPK signaling pathways to reduce redness, while its flavonoid profile (apigenin, quercetin) provides potent antioxidant protection and stimulates collagen synthesis for accelerated wound healing.

Key findings

  1. 01 A clinical evaluation of a 2.0% concentration demonstrated a 48.6% increase in skin moisturization within 1 hour, maintaining a 34.2% improvement after 24 hours.
  2. 02 A 4-week longitudinal study confirmed significant reductions in skin roughness, desquamation, and chronic dryness upon daily application.
  3. 03 Sensitization testing at 2.5% concentration resulted in a minimal reaction rate of only 0.56%, confirming a high safety profile for sensitive skin.

Stability

Thermolabile and photosensitive; must be incorporated during the cooling phase (<40°C) to prevent the degradation of chamazulene and bisabolol. Stability is maximized in slightly acidic environments.

Synergies

  • Glycerin
  • Hyaluronic Acid
  • Panthenol

Conflicts

  • Strong oxidizing agents
  • N-nitrosating agents (e.g., Triethanolamine) due to nitrosamine formation risk
