Excellentia International CHAMOMILE OIL SAUVAGE PURE & NATURAL
- CAS Number
- 68916-68-7
Wild Chamomile is a handsome plant of 0.9 to 1.2m high, with very hairy leaves and tubular yellow flowers surrounded by white ligules. Native to West Africa, it is often confused with Tansy oil, Santolina oil or Roman and Blue Chamomile. The harvesting is done from the wild population of the central plateau in Morocco. Although the commercial name is "chamomile", the essential oil is not related to Roman or Blue Chamomile. The color of the oil is light yellow to amber-greenish yellow, while the German or Roman oils may have a blue color due to the presence of Chamazulene. Its yield is about 0.2%, and the odor is fruity-green with notes of apple and grenadine. It is a relatively unknown essential oil and there are not enough tracked records about its chemical profile or therapeutic use.
