For adults, chamomile extract is usually safe when applied to the skin in normal cosmetic products. It can help calm the skin for many people, but a small number may get allergic reactions.
If you are an adult using a product with chamomile extract: do a small patch test first (apply a little on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Use only as directed on the product. Avoid putting it on open cuts or badly broken skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before using products that list herbal extracts.
Avoid if you have known allergies to ragweed, daisies, marigolds or other plants in the daisy family — these people are more likely to get a rash. Stop use and see a doctor if you get strong redness, swelling, itchy bumps, breathing difficulty or other signs of an allergic reaction. Limited safety reviews and a few case reports have flagged possible nervous-system and pregnancy-related effects in small studies (sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review, European Chemicals Agency, a systematic review of chamomile, and a study of herbal use in pregnancy). Also note that some product verification programs may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety data.
