German Chamomile CO₂ Wax, obtained from the delicate flowers of Matricaria chamomilla, is a precious aromatic wax produced through supercritical CO₂ extraction. This gentle process captures the full range of soothing and regenerative compounds naturally found in chamomile blossoms, including its characteristic blue pigments and skin-calming waxes.
The resulting material is a soft, golden-blue wax with a mild, sweet, herbaceous aroma that soothes the senses as much as the skin. Rich in azulene, bisabolol, and chamazulene, this wax combines aromatic beauty with deep therapeutic function, making it a premium ingredient in luxury skincare, aromatherapy, and botanical perfumery.
Its aroma unfolds slowly, revealing undertones of fresh earth and wild meadow, evoking calmness, serenity, and balance.
In perfumery, it functions as a heart-to-base note, providing smooth transitions and a grounding herbal warmth. It blends beautifully with:
- Lavender, helichrysum, clary sage, rose, frankincense, neroli, sandalwood, and vetiver.
The CO₂ wax is a natural fixative, extending the longevity of floral and herbal accords while imparting depth and harmony to the overall composition.
German Chamomile—also known as Blue Chamomile—is native to Europe and cultivated across Egypt, Bulgaria, and Central Europe for its medicinal and aromatic value. The plant’s small, daisy-like flowers are harvested at full bloom when their essential oil and active constituents reach peak concentration.
Through supercritical CO₂ extraction, these blossoms are processed with compressed carbon dioxide at low temperatures. This method captures not only the volatile aromatic oils but also the non-volatile lipid components, including plant waxes, esters, phytosterols, and antioxidants, yielding a full-spectrum wax extract.
Unlike steam distillation, which isolates only volatile molecules, CO₂ extraction preserves the complete phytochemical matrix of the plant—retaining azulene, bisabolol, chamazulene, matricin, and natural fatty compounds responsible for its vivid color and potent soothing effects.
The result is a semi-solid, blue-green wax with a soft texture and sweet, herbaceous fragrance—pure, solvent-free, and true to the flower’s natural essence.
