adults • Skin contact product
For adults, chamomile flowers used on the skin are usually safe and often used to soothe irritation. The main problem to watch for is an allergic skin reaction in people who are sensitive.
Before using a new chamomile product, put a small amount on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours. If there is no redness, itching, swelling or burning, it is likely safe for regular use. Do not apply to open cuts or badly broken skin. If you have a known allergy to ragweed or other daisy‑family plants, avoid chamomile products or check with your health care provider first. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your clinician before using herbal products on the skin.
Known allergen risk: chamomile has documented allergic reactions in people (source: peer‑reviewed literature). Animal studies show neuromuscular effects only at very high exposures in lab settings (source: in vitro study on Roman chamomile). There are a few human case reports about herbal product use in pregnancy (source: Italian pregnancy outcomes study); because of this, pregnant people should check with their clinician before using chamomile topically. If you notice worsening redness, spreading rash, blisters, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face/throat after using chamomile, stop use and seek medical care immediately.
