Skincare Benefits of Organic German Chamomile CO2 Extract
Soothing and Calming:
German Chamomile CO2 extract contains active compounds like chamazulene and bisabolol. Chamazulene has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce skin irritation and redness by inhibiting inflammatory enzymes and mediators. Bisabolol has soothing properties that calm the skin by reducing sensitivity and discomfort.
Wound Healing:
The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of German Chamomile CO2 extract contribute to its wound healing capabilities. By reducing inflammation and preventing bacterial growth, it creates an optimal environment for the skin to repair itself. This accelerates the healing process of minor wounds, cuts, and abrasions, minimizing the risk of infection and scarring.
Antioxidant Properties:
German Chamomile CO2 extract contains antioxidants like chamazulene and flavonoids. These antioxidants neutralize free radicals generated by UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental stressors. By scavenging free radicals, they protect skin cells from oxidative damage, thereby preventing premature aging signs such as wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Anti-inflammatory:
Chamazulene, found in German Chamomile CO2 extract, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, such as COX-2 and lipoxygenase, which are involved in the inflammatory process. This helps to alleviate inflammation associated with conditions like acne, rosacea, and general skin irritation.
Organic German Chamomile CO2 Extract for Hair
Soothing Scalp:
German Chamomile CO2 extract contains chamazulene and bisabolol, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the scalp, these compounds help to reduce inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory enzymes and cytokines. This soothing action calms an irritated scalp, alleviating itching, redness, and discomfort associated with conditions like scalp dermatitis or psoriasis.
Promotes Hair Growth:
German Chamomile CO2 extract enhances scalp circulation by dilating blood vessels, thereby increasing the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to hair follicles. This improved nutrient supply nourishes follicles and supports healthy hair growth.
Natural Hair Lightener:
Chamomile has mild bleaching properties due to its flavonoids and other lightening agents. When applied to hair regularly, especially in combination with heat or sunlight, it can gradually lighten hair color. This effect is more pronounced on blonde or light brown hair, where it enhances natural highlights and brightens overall hair appearance.
Antibacterial and Antifungal:
The antimicrobial properties of German Chamomile CO2 extract help to cleanse the scalp and inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. By maintaining a healthy scalp microbiome, it reduces the likelihood of scalp infections and dandruff formation, promoting overall scalp health.
German Chamomile CO2 Extract Nail Benefits
Moisturizes and Hydrates:
German Chamomile CO2 extract helps to moisturize and hydrate nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin. By maintaining optimal moisture levels, it prevents dryness and brittleness, keeping nails flexible and less prone to cracking or splitting.
Antifungal Properties:
The extract exhibits mild antifungal properties, which can help to prevent and treat nail fungal infections. Regular application of products containing German Chamomile CO2 extract may inhibit fungal growth and promote overall nail health.
