Skin Benefits

Adds a botanical scent that rounds out a product's sensory experience; cosmetic skin benefits are not well established and it may bother reactive skin.

Uses In Skincare & Cosmetics

Used as a fragrance component in facial oils, creams, body lotions, and cleansing balms to impart a chamomile-like aroma.

Comedogenic Rating

This ingredient is not typically evaluated for comedogenicity, and no standardized rating is available.

Safety

Volatile essential oil that can trigger irritation or allergic contact dermatitis; patch test and avoid the eye area or broken skin. More suitable at low dilutions and may not suit very sensitive or reactive skin.

Is Ormenis Multicaulis (Chamomile) Oil a Good Ingredient?

Rated Fair because it mainly acts as fragrance with little substantiated skin benefit, and its volatile fragrance allergens raise the risk of irritation or sensitization. Any skincare effect is not well supported, so it's best kept to low usage levels, which is why it doesn't rate higher.
