Weak evidence of possible pregnancy/birth effects associated with chamomile consumption. Source: Laura Cuzzolin, Francesco Francini-Pesenti, Giovanna Verlato, Marco Joppi, Paola Baldelli & Giuseppina Benoni 2010. Use of herbal products among 392 Italian pregnant women: focus on pregnancy outcome. Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety 19(11), 1151-8. Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity Chamomile A case–control analysis of data from the Quebec pregnancy registry was performed. Data on 3183 pregnant females were collected, and multivariate logistic regression models were used for data analysis.34 Cases were defined as women who delivered a newborn (<2500 g), and 424 of the 3183 participants were classified as cases. After adjusting for potential confounders, there were no statistically significant associations found between the use of chamomile (A nobilis) tea (alone or in combination with other herbal products) during the last 2 trimesters of pregnancy and the incidence of low birth weight. An epidemiology study examined the use of herbal products by pregnant women in Italy and pregnancy outcome.35 The number of individuals (mostly between 31 and 40 years old) interviewed was 392. Of the 392 individuals, 109 reported having taken 1 or more herbal products during pregnancy; the remaining 283 were classified as nonusers. The most frequently used herb was chamomile (48; 44% of the 109 patients), followed by licorice (15; 13.8% of the 109 patients). For the 37 regular users of chamomile and 14 regular users of licorice, there was a higher frequency of threatening miscarriages (21.6% and 35.7%, respectively) and preterm labors (21.6% and 16.7%, respectively) when compared to nonusers. Whether the frequency of threatening miscarriages in users of chamomile versus nonusers was statistically significant was not stated. An unspecified cardiac malformation (thought to have been related to Down syndrome) and an enlarged kidney were diagnosed in 2 neonates, following regular maternal consumption of chamomile. Regarding pregnancy outcome in the study population, no statistically significant differences were evident between users and nonusers, except for a higher incidence of newborns small for gestational age (11.9% vs 5.3%; P ¼ .039). However, after further analysis of the data, it was hypothesized that the regular intake of 2 herbs (chamomile and licorice, taken from the beginning of pregnancy) may have had an influence on threatening miscarriages and preterm labors of low birth weight infants.

General safety info about Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract from CIR

Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile) flower extract, anthemis nobilis flower oil, anthemis nobilis flower powder, and anthemis nobilis flower water are ingredients that function as fragrance ingredients and skin-conditioning agents in cosmetic products. These ingredients are being used at concentrations up to 10% (anthemis nobilis flower water) in cosmetic products. The available data indicate that these 4 ingredients are not irritating or sensitizing. Chemical composition data and the low use concentrations suggest that systemic toxicity would not be likely if percutaneous absorption of constituents were to occur. Formulations may contain more than 1 botanical ingredient; each may contribute to the final concentration of a single component. Manufacturers were cautioned to avoid reaching levels of plant constituents that may cause sensitization or other adverse effects. Industry should continue to use good manufacturing practices to limit impurities in the ingredient before blending into cosmetic formulations. The Expert Panel concluded that these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration in cosmetics, when formulated to be nonsensitizing.
