Application
- Functional Foods
In the functional food sector, chamomile extract is primarily used in products such as solid beverages (instant powders), teas, health bars, candies, and functional snacks. It provides a mild floral flavor profile, suitable for food concepts targeting a healthy lifestyle. In solid beverages, the recommended starting amount is 0.5% to 2.0% of the dry mix, with the specific amount adjusted according to the desired flavor intensity. This extract is water-soluble and can be blended with sweeteners, acidulants, and other flavoring ingredients to create a balanced sensory experience.
- Dietary Supplements
In the dietary supplement sector, chamomile extract is available in capsules, tablets, powder strips, and liquid tinctures. As a standardized plant ingredient, it is commonly used in herbal supplement formulations. The recommended dosage is 100 to 300 mg per serving (capsules/tablets), and 1 to 2 ml per serving for liquid dosage forms. Its water solubility makes it easily incorporated into powder mixtures and liquid systems, suitable for blending with vitamin C, magnesium, or other herbal extracts.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care
Chamomile extract is used in cosmetics and personal care products such as creams, lotions, toners, serums, soaps, shampoos, and masks. It primarily functions to soothe and care for the skin, especially in products targeting sensitive or dry skin. The recommended dosage is 0.5% to 2.0% of the total formula. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for baby care and products for sensitive skin. In emulsification systems, it is recommended to add an aqueous phase during the emulsification process to ensure even dispersion. The addition of chamomile extract helps enhance the natural plant-based positioning of the formula.
