For adults, German chamomile extract used on the skin is generally low risk and often used to calm irritated skin. Most people tolerate it well, but a small number can get skin reactions.
If you want to use a product with this extract, try a small patch on your inner forearm first and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itch. Stop use if you see a rash, swelling, or any breathing trouble. Prefer products from reputable brands and avoid putting on broken or badly damaged skin.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, itching, swelling) — this concern comes from cosmetic safety reviewers and the European chemical authority (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European Chemicals Agency). There are a few human case reports suggesting unclear nervous-system or pregnancy-related effects when chamomile is taken internally (from a systematic review and a study of herbal use in pregnancy), so avoid internal use during pregnancy unless your healthcare provider approves. Some product programs restrict this ingredient unless safety is documented, so check product labels and brand information.
