For adults, chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal cosmetic products. Most people use it without problems, but a few people who are allergic to related plants can react.
If you are an adult: use products that list a clear concentration or safety information; do a small patch test (apply a little product to the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours) before widespread use; if you have known allergies to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, or other aster family plants, avoid or test carefully; if you are pregnant or nursing, talk to your healthcare provider before using products that contain this extract.
Watch for skin redness, itching, blistering, or worsening rash — these are signs of an allergic reaction. The ingredient's listed references include regulatory and review sources (for example, ECHA and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a few human case studies that reported unclear findings about neurological effects and pregnancy outcomes; because those reports exist, pregnant or breastfeeding adults should check with a healthcare professional before using products with this extract. Also note some brands restrict its use unless safety is documented, so check product labeling and company safety statements.
