Ferreira, Elaine & Vasques, Christiane & Jesus, Cristine & Reis, Paula. (2015). Topical effects of Chamomilla Recutita in skin damage: A literature review. Pharmacologyonline. 3. 123.
This literature review identified 11 different studies testing formulations containing Chamomile Recutita that were used for following skin conditions: erythema induced by UV radiation or removal of adhesive tape, pityriasis alba lesions similar to eczema, peristomal injury, contact dermatitis, phlebitis, atopic eczema, radiodermatitis, and wound healing. The review has affirmed through a qualitative analysis that Chamomile Recutita has the potential to be an anti-inflammatory agent as effective as steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and non-steroidal currently marketed.

This research on the use of botanical extracts as skin lightening agents listed several components found in plant extracts that can significantly impact skin lightening. The research highlighted flavonoids and their role in significantly reducing the activity of melanin (responsible for skin color). Flavonoids are vital components found in chamomile.

This dermatological study showed that polyphenols have anti-aging ability, as they protect the skin from the ill effects of UV radiation and may even lessen the risk of acquiring skin cancer. When used in combination with sunscreen, the polyphenols found in chamomile can even address more serious skin ailments caused by UV exposure.

This study analyzing the effects of chamomile extract and corticosteroid (a synthetic steroid) in wound healing. The results of the comparative analysis implied that the use of chamomile promotes complete healing faster than the steroid.
