As spring is beginning, we would like to talk about another of the natural ingredients found in some of your formulas: chamomile concentrate. Many of you will know it by this name and others will also know that it is Chamomilla recutita and that if you come across it in the countryside, it is basically a daisy.
This seemingly simple flower is full of ingredients that make it very useful in many areas, including facial cosmetics. Due to its flavonoid and essential oil content, it is capable of providing softness to the skin, leaving a pleasant moisturising sensation. Its high antioxidant content allows it to prevent ageing associated with free radicals, as well as absorbing radiation and protecting against it. In addition, by stimulating the production of structural components of the skin and restoring the balance of the skin barrier, this skin rejuvenation is further enhanced. Another of the functions that make it beneficial for a multitude of skins is its antiseptic and purifying capacity, useful for improving the appearance of pores.
If this multitude of skin-loving effects are making chamomile one of our favourite flowers, its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties are yet another reason to include this ingredient in our formulas. They make it perfect for all those skins that are irritated or inflamed because of its ability to soothe them when they are in a more sensitive condition. Moreover, when we combine this extract with that of other flowers with soothing properties such as calendula, they mutually enhance each other’s effects, being able to take advantage of them to the highest degree. This feeling of soothed and relaxed skin also becomes a perfect ally for the night treatment of our skins, especially when we lead a hectic lifestyle, as it restores a more rested appearance to the skin.
Therefore, if your skin is experiencing stress, irritation or increased sensitivity, or if you are looking for relief from any of these signs in your cream, please take our test and find out which ingredient with soothing activity is best suited to your skin at the moment. The question is, chamomile… do you love me or don’t you?
