Chamomile reduces the redness of the skin by suppressing inflammation and is useful for skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis as the flavonoids penetrate deep into the skin when applied topically. It is also hypoallergenic so it neutralizes free radicals to diminish irritants to the skin calming.

It gently gets rid of bacteria being antibacterial and antifungal in nature. It also stimulates cell turnover for clear and blemish-free skin.
