Guaiazulene
Guaiazulene, also known as azulon or 1,4-dimethyl-7-isopropylazulene, is a dark blue crystalline hydrocarbon. A derivative of azulene, guaiazulene is a bicyclic sesquiterpene that is a constituent of some essential oils, mainly oil of guaiac and chamomile oil, which also serve as its commercial sources.
Guaiazulene finds applications as a cosmetic colour additive.
In skin care products, guaiazulene offers many other valuable properties. It is antiviral and has been shown to be effective in suppressing both warts and cold sores. The compound also provides anti-inflammatory and pain relief benefits, making it very useful in treating skin irritation caused by over-exposure to the sun and other first-degree (skin reddening) burns.
