What Is Chamomile 5:1 Propylene Glycol Extract?
This is a 5:1 concentrated liquid extract made from the dried flower heads of German chamomile (Matricaria recutita, family Asteraceae), delivered in a propylene glycol carrier rather than alcohol, glycerin, or oil. Bio-Botanica produces it with our proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat, cold-extraction process, which pulls the flower's water- and glycol-soluble constituents while limiting thermal stress. The result is a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum profile that reflects the whole chamomile flower rather than a single isolated fraction, so formulators work with the botanical as nature assembled it.
Market Demand
A propylene-glycol carrier is what makes this chamomile grade a natural fit for personal-care development, where water-miscible, alcohol-free inputs are often preferred for toners, essences, and leave-on formats. Chamomile flower is a long-established anchor ingredient in soothing and sensitive-skin positioning, giving cosmetic chemists a familiar, label-friendly botanical to build around. Interest in recognizable plant-derived actives across clean-beauty and hybrid beauty-wellness launches continues to keep glycol-soluble chamomile grades in steady demand from formulation and sourcing teams.
Formulation Applications
Because propylene glycol is water-miscible, this extract folds cleanly into aqueous and hydro-glycolic systems without the ethanol content of a fluid extract. In cosmetics and personal care, it suits toners, facial mists, essences, serums, lotions, sheet-mask and eye-area formulas, and rinse-off cleansers where a chamomile flower story supports skin-comfort positioning. It is not designed for anhydrous or purely oil-based systems, where an oil infusion would be the better match.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Formulators choose Bio-Botanica for this chamomile extract because the sourcing and testing story holds up to scrutiny. We have been family-owned and manufacturing in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, and every lot of this propylene-glycol extract is produced in our FDA-inspected cGMP facility with in-house HPLC and mass spectrometry identity testing. Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification options are available to match your claim set, and each sample ships with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS so your R&D and regulatory reviewers can qualify it quickly.
Common Buyer Questions
What exactly is this chamomile extract made from?
It is made from the flower of German chamomile, botanically Matricaria recutita (family Asteraceae). It uses the flower head specifically, not the whole plant or the aerial stems, and it is German chamomile rather than Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), which is a different species.
What is this product carried in?
The carrier is propylene glycol, which is why the product name specifies it. Propylene glycol is a water-miscible solvent widely used in cosmetic and personal-care applications, making this extract a fit for aqueous formulations.
Does this extract contain alcohol?
No, this is a propylene glycol extract, not an ethanol fluid extract, so it is not carried in alcohol. If your project requires a specific residual-solvent profile, those details are documented on the TDS.
What does the 5:1 ratio mean?
The 5:1 designation describes the concentration relationship between the chamomile flower starting material and the finished liquid extract. It tells you the extract is concentrated relative to the raw botanical; exact specifications for your lot are provided on the Spec Sheet/TDS.
Is this extract standardized to a specific compound?
No, it is a full-spectrum, non-standardized extract produced under our Holistically Balanced approach, so it reflects the whole chamomile flower rather than being adjusted to a set percentage of any single marker. If your formulation needs a particular specification, our team can review what is feasible.
Which product formats does it work best in?
It works best in water-based personal-care systems: toners, mists, essences, serums, lotions, and rinse-off cleansers. It is not intended for anhydrous or oil-only formulations.
How is it positioned across industries?
Brands position it around skin-comfort and soothing routines in cosmetics and personal care. These are brand-positioning categories; the appropriate compliant claims for a finished product remain the formulator's responsibility.
Is it soluble in water-based formulations?
Yes, because propylene glycol is water-miscible, the extract disperses readily in aqueous and hydro-glycolic systems. For oil-based or anhydrous formats, an oil infusion would be a more suitable form.
Where does the chamomile come from?
German chamomile is native to Europe and western Asia and is cultivated commercially in regions including Egypt and Eastern Europe. The specific country of origin for your lot is stated on the TDS.
What certifications and documentation are available?
Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification options are available depending on your requirements. Each sample ships with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS, and every lot is tested in-house by HPLC and mass spectrometry in our FDA-inspected cGMP facility.
How is it sold, and can I get a sample?
It is sold as a bulk ingredient to formulators and manufacturers. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your volume and specifications. Samples are available with full documentation so your team can evaluate it before committing to a production quantity.
