Get the recipe for a super simple, DIY chamomile-infused oil that can be used as-is, for skincare and other natural self care products.

Chamomile Skin Benefits

Chamomile is known for its skin-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It can benefit all skin types, whether it be oily, dry or acne prone.

A common misconception is that oily skin, or acne prone skin needs to be treated with products that are drying and harsh.

The truth is, most of the time these type of products will make your issues worse. It's important to understand how different oils work on various types of skin.

Oils can be used as a moisturizer for dry or oily skin because they don't clog pores like other creams and lotions do.

They also help balance out oil production in people who have excessively oily skin and reduce inflammation in people with acne prone skin (like me).

Oils also improve the absorption of skincare ingredients which means you get better results faster!

This chamomile-infused oil is no exception.

Ingredient Notes

  • Chamomile - You can use chamomile that you've grown yourself and dried, or you can purchase dried chamomile to use in this recipe. It's important to use dried herbs when making infused oils, since moisture will cause the end product to spoil quickly.
  • Carrier oil of choice - this recipe calls for sweet almond oil, but you can use any carrier oil you prefer here.

Storage Instructions

Store the infused oil in a glass tincture bottle or other glass container for up to 3 months.

How To Use This Oil

Once you have your camomile-infused oil made, there are so many amazing ways to use it. Try these favorite recipes:
