Cape Chamomile Essential Oil also known locally as Snow Bush is steam distilled from the tiny buds and beautiful white flowers of the Eriocephalus punctulatus plant growing wild on the mountain slopes of the South African coast. It is a distant relation to German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile but has a fruitier and more subtle aroma with herbaceous, earthy notes.

Cape Chamomile Essential Oil has the most inviting aroma of all the Chamomile varieties, so is used in the perfume industry as well as natural perfumery.

This product needs to be diluted with a carrier oil before using on the skin. A patch test is always advised to see if your skin is sensitive to the product.
