The evidence, graded
expert consensusUS safety reviewers (2017) assessed four Roman chamomile ingredients, used for scent and to condition skin. A lotion with 3% flower extract caused no irritation or allergy in a repeated patch test on 104 people, and the essential oil none in tests on 110 and 104. Case reports describe positive allergy tests to Roman chamomile. Levels of allergy-causing compounds, such as sesquiterpene lactones, vary widely, so they judged these safe as used in products made not to cause allergy.Johnson 2017 · International Journal of Toxicology ↗
