📚 Research & Evidence

🔬 The Science

Matricaria chamomilla extract, commonly known as chamomile extract, has been investigated for its potential role in wound healing. Research has identified that this plant contains anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant compounds, which provided the scientific rationale for studying its effects on skin repair. Two animal studies examined how topically applied chamomile extract affected different types of wounds. #1: In a linear incision model (Nat Prod Res, 2010), researchers made surgical cuts on the backs of rats and tracked healing over 20 days. The chamomile extract group showed statistically significant faster wound closure compared to rats treated with olive oil alone on most measurement days.

#2: In a burn wound model (Nat Prod Res, 2008), chamomile extract similarly demonstrated significant acceleration of healing in second-degree burns covering a standardized area of the body, with measurements taken weekly until complete healing. Both studies used chamomile extract dissolved in olive oil and applied it topically. It’s important to note these are animal studies (conducted in rats), so effects in human skin may differ. The research does support that chamomile extract has some wound-healing potential based on these controlled laboratory conditions, but human clinical evidence would be needed to confirm whether these benefits translate to consumer skincare use.

The sources themselves don’t specify which active compounds in chamomile are responsible for the effect, only that the plant’s known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties were the basis for investigation.
