For adults (grown-ups, teens), chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita) flower extract used on the skin is generally safe and often used to calm or soothe skin.
Before using on larger areas, do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If you know you react to chamomile or other daisy-family plants, avoid products that list this extract. Use as directed on product labels and avoid putting it in the mouth. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using products that list this extract.
Watch for signs of a skin allergy (redness, itching, swelling). Limited evidence of dermal allergy comes from the European Chemicals Agency; ingredient reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note it is generally safe but may have use limits. A few human case reports and reviews mention unclear nervous-system or pregnancy-related effects when chamomile is taken as an herbal product (systematic review, 2016; study of herbal use in pregnancy, 2010). Also, some third‑party product verification programs restrict its use unless the maker provides extra safety substantiation—ask the brand if you are concerned.
