Azulene is found in a wide variety of beauty products, including soaps, cleansers and moisturizers. It is also contained in hair care products and treatments, including conditioners, chemicals used for permanents and straightening and hair dyes.
Azulene is one of the most commonly used ingredients used in products designed for those with sensitive skin.
Acne
The anti-inflammatory benefits of azulene have led to its inclusion in formulas meant to address acne. In these products, azulene helps to alleviate the redness from blemishes, allowing the complexion to clear up more quickly. Azulene is also used in moisturizers and skin care treatment serums, creams and lotions that are intended for stressed or damaged skin. When added to a skin care product for its anti-inflammatory actions, azulene helps to calm skin irritation.
Free Radicals
As an antioxidant, azulene has the ability to shield the skin from damage from free radicals. Although it cannot prevent the skin from ever aging, azulene can minimize symptoms associated with more mature skin and help reduce the likelihood that fine lines and wrinkles will develop prematurely. By neutralizing free radicals, azulene can also help prevent the cellular damage that causes skin discoloration from occurring due to sun exposure.
Rejuvenation
Azulene, a derivative of chamomile, is also known to rejuvenate skin cells to help address cellular damage that has already occurred. Additionally, azulene has mild antibacterial properties and is sometimes used in natural medicine as an ingredient in antiseptics.
