# Roman Chamomile Facial Oil Recipe

This **Roman chamomile face oil** is a light evening facial oil made with jojoba, squalane, and a small amount of rosehip seed oil. The essential oil level is intentionally low because facial skin does not need a strong fragrance blend.

Roman chamomile gives the finished oil a delicate floral scent and makes the recipe feel special without turning it into perfume. Use only a few drops on damp skin after cleansing, or press it over a simple water-based serum.

## Benefits

- Gives dry-feeling facial skin a light oil layer without a heavy balm texture.
- Uses a very low essential oil dilution suited to delicate facial use.
- Works well as a simple evening oil after cleansing.
- Has a soft Roman chamomile scent that feels gentle and not perfume-like.

## Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons jojoba oil
- 2 teaspoons squalane
- 1 teaspoon rosehip seed oil
- 1 teaspoon apricot kernel oil
- 3 drops [Roman chamomile essential oil](/essential-oils/chamomile-roman-essential-oil/)

**Roman chamomile essential oil:**  
 Roman chamomile adds a soft floral scent at a very low dilution so the face oil stays gentle.

**Jojoba oil:**  
 Jojoba is a classic choice for face oils because it feels balanced and not overly heavy.

**Squalane:**  
 Squalane gives the recipe a silky, lightweight finish.

**Rosehip seed oil:**  
 Rosehip seed oil adds richness, so this recipe uses a small amount rather than making it the whole base.

## Recommended Supplies

A 1 oz dropper bottle is the right size for this low-dilution face oil.

- 1 oz glass dropper bottle
- Small funnel
- Label

### Equipment

- 1 oz glass dropper bottle
- Small funnel
- Label

### Method

1. Add the jojoba oil, squalane, rosehip seed oil, and apricot kernel oil to a clean 1 oz dropper bottle.
2. Add the Roman chamomile essential oil.
3. Cap and roll the bottle gently between your hands to combine.
4. Label with the name and date made.

**Tip:** Keep facial essential oil blends very low. For extra-sensitive skin, leave the essential oil out completely.

## How to Use

After cleansing, apply 2 to 4 drops to slightly damp skin and press gently over the face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Use in the evening or whenever your skin needs a light oil layer.

## Storage

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly closed. Use within 3 to 6 months, especially because rosehip seed oil can oxidize faster than some carrier oils.

## Variations & Substitutions

**Unscented Face Oil**

- 2 teaspoons jojoba oil
- 2 teaspoons squalane
- 1 teaspoon rosehip seed oil
- 1 teaspoon apricot kernel oil

**Chamomile Lavender Face Oil**

- 1 oz carrier oil blend

## Safety Considerations

- For external use only.
- Patch test on a small area of skin before regular use.
- Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or irritated skin.
- Do not ingest essential oils.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Consult a qualified professional before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a medical condition, or making products for children.

Facial skin can be more reactive than body skin. Leave out the essential oil if you are highly sensitive, using acne medication, using strong exfoliants, or have recently had a facial treatment.

## Additional Notes

If your skin clogs easily, patch test on one area of the face for several nights before using it all over. Use fewer drops than you think you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Roman chamomile essential oil on my face?

It should only be used on the face at a very low dilution and after patch testing. Sensitive skin may do better with an unscented version.

It is best as an evening face oil, but it can also be used during the day if it suits your skin and does not interfere with sunscreen or makeup.

Can I make this face oil without rosehip seed oil?

Yes. Replace the rosehip seed oil with more jojoba, squalane, or apricot kernel oil.

How much face oil should I use?

Start with 2 to 4 drops. Using too much can make the skin feel oily and may not absorb well.

Can this face oil replace moisturizer?

It can be used after a moisturizer or on damp skin, but many people still prefer a water-based moisturizer underneath.

Why use Roman chamomile in a face oil?

Roman chamomile gives the oil a soft, gentle aroma and makes a simple carrier oil blend feel more soothing and special.
