Camomile is also called German Chamomile. Originally from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, today we are lucky to find it on all continents. If certain hydrosols have completely different properties from the corresponding essential oil, Camomile Camomile hydrosol presents similar actions. It thus helps to act against skin and seasonal allergies, to fight against skin inflammations such as eczema or psoriasis, and to soothe. Finally, it beautifies blonde hair! Latin name: Matricaria recutita (L.) Rauschert. Distilled part: flowering tops
