Watch if sensitive·Moderate evidence·INCI: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
Chamomile extract is used for its soothing and mild antioxidant reputation and is generally well tolerated. It belongs to the Asteraceae (Compositae) plant family, so people with a known ragweed or daisy-family allergy occasionally react to it and may want to patch test first.
