Due to the expense and intensity of Roman Chamomile, we offer it in a 10% dilution in jojoba oil. This essential oil was distilled often in Germany from Hungarian raw materials which may explain the term "German" Chamomile. The unique soil and climate of Bulgaria is known for imparting many of the finest nuances in the industry (i.e. Lavender, Rose). The reason for the deep beautiful blue hue is the natural constituent, a hydrocarbon; chamazulene. The chamazulene content gives German Chamomile its most important actions of soothing, calming and anti-inflammatory. It is widely believed this constituent does not affect the aroma. The odor is intensely sweet, coumarin-like, herbal and slightly fruity. The dry out notes are warm and pleasant like sweet tobacco.

It is very warm, sweet, comforting, slightly bitter and somewhat green. Roman Chamomile is more fruity and somewhat apple-like in aroma. This oil is very fragrant and shares a lot of the properties of the other Chamomile species. Relaxing, soothing, calming the nerves without being a sedative (great for kids!), very gentle oil for many skin conditions, digestive problems and stress. Great skincare properties, soothing irritation and balancing the skin's functions. Its mildness, as well as its proven effectiveness makes it a universal remedy, even in baby care. Blends well with Geranium, Lavender, Rose, Neroli, Marjoram, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Rosewood, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang and others. Chamomile adds a soft, warm note to a blend. This herb has been used for medicinal purposes and skin therapy for ages, particularly in Europe. German/Blue Chamomile and Roman Chamomile have very similar properties, however the German/Blue oil is better for anti-inflammatory applications, because it has a higher content of Azulene.

Light, fresh lemon scent with geranium-like notes. Very soft and round. Citronella's properties are similar to Lemongrass, its scent however, is less appealing to many people. Commonly used in deodorizing and insect repelling products, and as a raw material for the perfume industry. Citronella works well in blends designed to keep insects at bay, for example, in combination with Cedarwood, Lavender, Patchouli or Eucalyptus. You can also add a few drops to mopping water when mopping your home. Citronella blends well with a lot of different oils, "lifting" a blend to make it appear more energetic and lively, such as Lavender, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Geranium, Fennel, Tea Tree, resinous Essential Oils and many others. Avoid in pregnancy. Do not use directly on the skin.
