Matricaria chamomilla oil refers to the essential oil extracted from the flowers of the Matricaria chamomilla plant, commonly known as chamomile. Chamomile oil is known for its soothing and calming properties, and it is often used in aromatherapy, skincare, and natural remedies.
A carrier oil is a neutral oil used to dilute essential oils like chamomile oil before applying them to the skin. Common carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, and grapeseed oil. Carrier oils help to “carry” the essential oil onto the skin and prevent irritation or sensitivity, while also moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
Therefore, the combination of Matricaria chamomilla oil and a carrier oil would typically involve mixing chamomile essential oil with a carrier oil to create a diluted blend suitable for topical application. This blend can be used in massage oils, skincare products, or aromatherapy blends for its soothing and therapeutic effects.
