Tips

Use opaque and/or airless containers to better preserve the cream
Always allow emulsions to rest for 24 hours to observe the final texture
Prepare a little more infusion, as some will evaporate in the double boiler.
Remember, it has to be sweet or German chamomile. Chamaemelum nobile, or bitter chamomile, won't work. It's different.
The cream has a sweet chamomile scent. You can add essential oils or fragrances according to the recommended dosage. I haven't included them to avoid the risk of irritation.
Always apply a small test amount to a sensitive area of ​​skin to check that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.
When mixing with an immersion blender, ensure the blades are completely covered and not touching the bottom of the container. This helps prevent air bubbles from forming in the emulsion.
Ensure that Phase A and Phase B are at the same temperature.
For filling the container, a piping bag is more convenient and cleaner
