ROMAN CHAMOMILE

Roman Chamomile has been prized for centuries as one of the botanical world's great calming and comforting herbs. Its essential oil contains a distinctive concentration of aromatic esters, particularly angelates, compounds that have been studied for soothing and anti-inflammatory activity and help give Roman Chamomile its characteristic gentle nature.

On the skin, Roman Chamomile is especially valuable when the complexion simply needs to settle down. Skin can become uncomfortable for countless reasons—dryness, weather, environmental exposure, over-exfoliation or a demanding skincare routine. Roman Chamomile provides soothing botanical support for skin that feels irritable, tender, tight or easily unsettled, helping restore a greater sense of comfort.

What you feel is really the point of this ingredient. Skin feels calmer, softer and more comfortable, with less of that dry, irritated sensation that makes you constantly aware of your skin. As stressed skin settles and becomes better conditioned, the complexion can also appear more rested, balanced and healthy-looking.

Its natural fragrance reinforces that sense of calm. Roman Chamomile has a soft, herbaceous, subtly fruity aroma reminiscent of apples. In fact, the word chamomile comes from the Greek chamaimēlon, meaning “ground apple,” a reference to the flower's distinctive scent.

In AFTERGLOW™, Roman Chamomile is the botanical comfort ingredient—a quiet counterpoint to the richness of the restorative oils and the sensuality of Bulgarian Rose, chosen to leave dry, stressed skin feeling soothed, settled and beautifully comfortable.
