Excellentia International CHAMOMILE OIL SAUVAGE PURE & NATURAL

Wild Chamomile is a handsome plant of 0.9 to 1.2m high, with very hairy leaves and tubular yellow flowers surrounded by white ligules. Native to West Africa, it is often confused with Tansy oil, Santolina oil or Roman and Blue Chamomile. The harvesting is done from the wild population of the central plateau in Morocco. Although the commercial name is "chamomile", the essential oil is not related to Roman or Blue Chamomile. The color of the oil is light yellow to amber-greenish yellow, while the German or Roman oils may have a blue color due to the presence of Chamazulene. Its yield is about 0.2%, and the odor is fruity-green with notes of apple and grenadine. It is a relatively unknown essential oil and there are not enough tracked records about its chemical profile or therapeutic use.

Technical Details & Test Data

Chemical Profile & Chemotypes

This oil has not been sufficiently studied, so its chemical composition could vary between crops and batches.

The main key constituent of wild chamomile is "Santolina Alcohol" (approximately 30%).

This substance is also only present in other few oils like "Artemisia Vestita", "Artemisia Judaica", "Santolina Chamaezyparisus" or "Ravensara Aromatica".

The contents of the sesquiterpene "Germacrene D" (3 - 5%) and the alcohol "Trans-Pinocarveol" (1 - 3%) are also important as quality indicators.

The rest of the known constituents are the following (the contents are only indicative):

  • Alpha Pinene: 10 - 15%
  • Limonene: 3 - 6 %
  • Yomogi Alcohol: 3%
  • Artemisia Alcohol: 1 - 3%
  • Bornyl Acetate: 3%
  • Trans-Pinocarveol: 2 - 7%

Regarding adulteration, we should only be aware of Pinene additions and/or blue fat-soluble colorants dosage (the latter with the objective of sell it as the better and expensive Blue Chamomile)
