Azulene is a component of volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from Chamomile, Anthemis nobilis, Achillea millefolium [Yarrow] or Tanacetum anuum [Blue tansy], and it is known for its spectacular blue color. Azulenes is an unsaturated blue hydrocarbon, an isomer of naphthalene. Chamomile contains a variety of active ingredients. Each of these ingredients expresses a particular behavior, but the fascinating overall effect is the result of all the components working together. The main components in the oil from chamomile are alpha-bisabolol and chamazulene, sesquiterpene derivatives. There are also other beneficial substances, mainly apigenin and many other flavonoids.

Benefits: In clinical studies, Azulenes and Bisabolol have shown significant anti-inflammatory effects, and Chamazulene has shown significant antioxidant protection. In fact, this means that the application of these natural substances will help prevent the development of skin blemishes and help prevent the deterioration of skin cells, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation.
