What Is Chamomile Fluid Extract?
Chamomile Fluid Extract is a hydroethanolic liquid extract made from the dried flower heads of German chamomile (Matricaria recutita, family Asteraceae), delivered in an ethanol carrier that also naturally carries glycerin and water. As a fluid extract it contains alcohol. Bio-Botanica produces it with the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, which pulls the flower's constituents without the thermal stress of high-heat methods, and finishes it as a Holistically Balanced full-spectrum profile that mirrors the botanical rather than isolating a single fraction. It is a non-standardized extract, so lot values appear on the accompanying documentation.
Market Demand
Chamomile sits among the most recognized calming botanicals, and buyer interest tracks the broader shift toward familiar, plant-based ingredients across teas, sleep and relaxation supplements, and functional beverages. Market.us estimates the global chamomile extract market growing at a CAGR of roughly 7.2%, reflecting steady pull from food, beverage, and supplement applications. Beyond any single figure, chamomile's consumer familiarity makes it a low-education ingredient for brands entering the relaxation, bedtime, and digestive-comfort categories.
Formulation Applications
Chamomile Fluid Extract is built for ingestible, water-and-alcohol-compatible systems. As an ethanol-based fluid extract it blends readily into tinctures, dropper products, functional beverages, shots, and syrups, and can be carried into capsules or gummies during batching. Because it is alcohol-bearing rather than anhydrous, it is intended for aqueous and hydroalcoholic ingestible formats, not oil-only systems. Formulators should account for the alcohol content in low-flash or heat-sensitive processes.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has manufactured bulk botanical extracts since 1972 from its FDA-inspected, cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, and brings that consistency to every lot of Chamomile Fluid Extract. In-house HPLC and mass spectrometry testing supports identity and quality on each batch, and the Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process is designed to preserve the flower's full-spectrum character. Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification are available on request, and any glycerin used across the line is derived from RSPO-certified palm oil.
Common Buyer Questions
What exactly is Chamomile Fluid Extract?
It is a liquid extract of German chamomile flower (Matricaria recutita) in an ethanol carrier. Bio-Botanica makes it as a full-spectrum, non-standardized fluid extract using low-heat Bio-Chelated cold extraction.
Which species and plant part is used?
The extract is made from the flower of German chamomile, Matricaria recutita (also referenced as Matricaria recutita), in the Asteraceae family. It is not Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), and only the flower is used, not the whole aerial plant.
Does it contain alcohol, or is it alcohol-free?
It contains alcohol. As a fluid extract the carrier is ethanol, and the finished liquid also naturally carries glycerin and water. If you need an alcohol-free option, ask the team about a glycerin-based chamomile extract instead.
What is it carried in?
The carrier is ethanol. The extract is hydroethanolic, meaning ethanol with naturally occurring glycerin and water, which makes it compatible with water-and-alcohol formulations.
Is it standardized to a specific compound?
No. This is a Holistically Balanced full-spectrum extract rather than one standardized to a fixed marker percentage. Representative constituent values for a given lot are provided on the COA and TDS.
Which product formats does it suit?
It works in tinctures, dropper products, functional beverages, shots, syrups, capsules, and gummies. As an ethanol-and-water fluid extract it is intended for ingestible, aqueous and hydroalcoholic formats.
How should I position chamomile in my product?
Brands commonly position chamomile within relaxation, bedtime, and digestive-comfort concepts. Traditional use frames chamomile flower as being used to support calm and everyday comfort; keep consumer-facing language within your applicable regulatory framework.
Is it soluble in oil-based systems?
Not ideally. Because it is an ethanol-and-water fluid extract, it is best suited to aqueous or hydroalcoholic systems rather than anhydrous oil-only formulations. Bench-test compatibility with your surfactant and cosolvent package.
Where does the chamomile come from?
German chamomile is native to Europe and western Asia and is cultivated across those regions and beyond. The specific country of origin for a given lot is listed on the TDS accompanying your sample.
What certifications are available?
Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification are available on request. Bio-Botanica manufactures in an FDA-inspected, cGMP facility, and any glycerin used across its extracts is derived from RSPO-certified palm oil.
What documentation ships with a sample?
Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Every lot is tested in-house by HPLC and mass spectrometry.
How is it sold, and what are minimums and sampling?
It is sold as a bulk ingredient. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your volume and specifications. Contact the team for a quote, minimum order details, and a sample matched to your formulation.
