Overview
Blue chamomile oil (CAS 8015-92-7 ), also listed under FEMA 2272 , is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Matricaria chamomilla. It is recognized for its distinctive deep blue color from the chamazulene content formed during distillation.
In industry, it functions as a botanical active, fragrance ingredient, and flavoring agent across personal care, pharmaceutical, and food applications. In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into facial serums and creams.
Its anti-inflammatory botanical profile supports soothing claims for sensitive-skin products. Fragrance houses use it as a floral-herbaceous modifier in fine fragrance and functional fragrance blends where its intensity allows low inclusion rates.
In food and beverage, it serves as a natural flavoring under 21 CFR 182.20 for herbal teas, confectionery, and botanical beverages. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into topical preparations.
It is also used in oral formulations targeting skin and digestive wellness positioning. Blue chamomile oil is supplied as a dark blue to blue-green liquid, with color intensity varying by chamazulene concentration and origin.
It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality benchmarks typically aligned to ISO standards and pharmacopoeial monographs including Ph.Eur. Packaging ranges from small amber glass vials to drums.
