Natural Soap with Chamomile Extract

Natural Soap with Chamomile Extract Chamomile is one of the most popular medicinal plants. It is widely used in herbal medicine as a gentle sleep aid, for a sore stomach, and to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Chamomile is also frequently added to skin cosmetics for its anti-inflammatory and emollient properties. For example, natural soap infused with chamomile extract is a hypoallergenic product suitable for all skin types.

Chamomile is the common name for several daisy-like plants that belong to the family Asteracea. The most commonly used species is Matricaria chamomilla (Matricaria recutita), known as German chamomile, wild chamomile or simply chamomile. Dried chamomile flowers are used to make a herbal infusion known as chamomile tea. It serves various medicinal properties such as treating gastrointestinal disorders, menstrual disorders, muscle spasms, inflammation, hay fever, insomnia, and some skin conditions.

Chamomile is a rich source of apigenin and bisabolol. Both compounds are known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Other active ingredients of chamomile essential oil are flavonoids (including luteolin, patuletin and quercetin), coumarins, chamazulene and farnesene.

Natural chamomile extract contains all the compounds present in chamomile flowers. Natural soap infused with chamomile extract is typically suitable even for delicate baby skin. It relieves inflammation and soothes irritated skin, helps to make the skin softer and smoother, keeps it nourished and hydrated.

Soap with chamomile extract effectively cleanses and softens the skin, provides it with moisture, and creates a natural antibacterial barrier. It also tightens pores and produces a matte effect, which makes it excellent for taking care of oily and combination skin. Natural soap enriched with German chamomile extract is hypoallergenic and is thus often used to take care of sensitive skin and as a baby care product.

Although some manufacturers brand their products as “soap”, this isn’t always true. A soap is a natural surfactant obtained by treating vegetable or animal oils and fats with a strong alkaline solution (lye). Ideally, a good soap should be based on vegetable oils only. However, some products branded as “soap” also contain synthetic surfactants such as SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) or SLES (sodium laureth sulfate). These ingredients can cause irritated and dry skin, and even chamomile won’t be able to prevent it. So if you decide to try a chamomile soap, you’d better choose an organic or natural product free of synthetic surfactants, colourants and preservatives.

There are many natural and organic cosmetic brands that offer chamomile soap. They include Green Pharmacy, Home Doctor, YAKA, BIO Nanny, and others. All these brands offer high-quality, effective and affordable products which are formulated with natural ingredients and do not contain animal fat or ingredients of artificial origin.

In these soaps, the effect of chamomile extract is complemented and enhanced by other medicinal herbs. For example, key ingredients of Chamomile & Sage Cosmetic Soap by Green Pharmacy are chamomile extract and sage extract. Sage extract produces an antibacterial effect, prevents premature skin ageing, accelerates the healing of minor skin injuries, and helps to normalise the hydro-lipid balance of the skin. Chamomile & Calendula Soap by YAKA is infused with calendula (marigold) extract that has a strong antiseptic and soothing effect. It is also enriched with a blend of essential oils, including wormwood oil, grapefruit oil, lavender oil, bergamot oil, and rosemary oil.
