Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
1. What is NanoActiv Chamomile?
NanoActiv Chamomile is a nano-engineered form of chamomile liquid extract (e.g. flower extract), formulated to reduce particle size to the nano scale. This enhancement aims to improve skin absorption, stability, uniform dispersion, and efficacy in personal care and cosmetic products.
2. What is chamomile extract, and how is it used in cosmetics?
Chamomile (commonly Matricaria chamomilla or Chamomilla recutita) flower extract is widely used in skincare for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and calming properties. It contains bioactives such as bisabolol, chamazulene, flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin), and other compounds that can reduce redness / irritation and support skin health.
In cosmetics, standard chamomile extract often comes as a liquid (e.g. in water/glycerin medium) and is incorporated into lotions, creams, serums, masks, and after-sun / soothing products.
3. How does NanoActiv Chamomile differ from regular chamomile extract?
Compared to conventional chamomile extract, NanoActiv Chamomile offers:
- Improved penetration and bioavailability of active compounds
- More uniform dispersion in formulas (less phase separation)
- Better stability (e.g. reduced oxidation or degradation)
- A lighter sensory feel, reduced residue, and more consistent performance across product formats
4. What are the benefits of using NanoActiv Chamomile in formulations?
Enhanced soothing effect and faster calming of irritated skin
Stronger antioxidant protection due to more effective delivery
More stable formulas, less tendency to degrade over time
Improved texture and feel without compromising the natural profile
5. In which types of personal care or cosmetic products is NanoActiv Chamomile most suitable?
Some ideal applications include:
- Facial creams, serums, and lotions (especially for sensitive skin)
- After-sun gels, soothing and calming skincare
- Masks and pack formulations
- Hair and scalp treatments, where calming / anti-inflammatory action is desired
- Eye area care or delicate skin formulations
6. What is the CAS Number and INCI Name of chamomile extract (flower)?
CAS Number: 84082-60-0
INCI Name: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
Note: Since NanoActiv Chamomile is an enhanced (nano) form of the same botanical extract, its INCI listing generally remains Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract for regulatory compliance, though technical / safety documentation may note its nano status.
7. Is NanoActiv Chamomile safe for skin and cosmetic use?
Yes, when properly formulated. Chamomile extract is well accepted in cosmetics and known for its low irritation potential (though some individuals with sensitivities or allergies to the Asteraceae family may react).
The nano version should be validated through standard safety testing (e.g. irritation, stability, purity) in your particular formulation context.
8. How should formulators incorporate NanoActiv Chamomile into their products?
Typically added in the aqueous (water) phase or during the cooling phase of emulsions
Use gentle mixing or mild homogenization to preserve nano dispersion
Typical usage rates: 0.1% to 2% (or as dictated by efficacy and stability testing)
Ensure inclusion of compatible preservatives, antioxidants, and pH controls to protect from microbial growth and degradation
9. Which skin types or conditions are most appropriate for NanoActiv Chamomile?
Sensitive, reactive, reddened or irritated skin
Post-treatment or post-sun exposure skin that needs calming
Dry or aging skin that benefits from antioxidant support
Baby or delicate skin (assuming full safety validation)
10. Where can I source NanoActiv Chamomile and obtain technical / formulation support?
NanoActiv Chamomile can be provided through your trusted distribution or R&D supplier channels. We offer:
- Sample quantities for formulation evaluation
- Full technical datasheets (particle size, stability, assay of actives)
- Guidance for integrating into diverse product systems
- Bulk supply options and support for scaling
