Bulgarian Blue Chamomile CO2 Extract is a premium botanical extract obtained from the flowers of Matricaria chamomilla, also known as German Chamomile or Blue Chamomile. Sourced from Bulgarian chamomile flowers and extracted using supercritical CO2, this rare aromatic material captures the soft floral-herbaceous beauty of chamomile with a richer, deeper, and more complex profile than a simple infusion.
This extract is especially valued in luxury skincare, botanical balms, facial oils, sensitive-skin-inspired formulas, after-sun blends, natural perfumery, and high-end anhydrous formulations. Its naturally deep blue to blue-green color is associated with the presence of chamomile’s characteristic azulene-type compounds, along with other valuable botanical constituents.
Aromatically, Bulgarian Blue Chamomile CO2 Extract is soft, sweet, herbaceous, warm, floral, slightly fruity, tea-like, honeyed, and earthy, with a gentle apple-like nuance. It brings a beautiful calming botanical character to facial oils, balms, body oils, creams, and natural perfume compositions.
In cosmetic formulations, Blue Chamomile CO2 Extract is appreciated for its skin-conditioning profile and its ability to support products designed for the appearance of calm, comfortable, and healthy-looking skin. It is an excellent choice for premium formulas targeting dry-feeling skin, mature-looking skin, delicate skin care, and soothing-inspired botanical blends.
