Azulene cream is a facial cream that contains chamomile.
Azulene cream is a facial cream whose main ingredient is chamomile. Azulene is a chemical compound known for its blue color, which is derived from chamomile flowers. Due to its blue color, azulene is also used as a colorant in soaps and cosmetics.
The history of azulene use dates back to the 1400s, when Germans distilled and vaporized the blue oily compound through chamomile flowers. The use of azulene cream is said to help heal various types of skin conditions. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, doctors sometimes recommend azulene face cream to help treat acne. It is sometimes used as a holistic treatment for rosacea, a skin condition that causes permanent redness. Azulene cream has also been recommended as a treatment for sunburned skin.

In addition to its anti-inflammatory powers, azulene cream also cleanses the pores. Used as an astringent, it can have a smoothing and tightening effect on the skin. For this reason, azulene cream is often sold as an anti-aging treatment to combat wrinkles.
Chamomile oil has a long history as a calming compound. Its herbal scent is pleasing to many people and can have a calming effect when smelled. Therefore, using azulene scented cream can be a pleasurable experience in itself. Like many moisturizers, azulene skin cream can help with dry skin. It is recommended to apply the cream after drying the bath towel so that it is easily absorbed.

Azulene is also used as a colorant in soaps. The oil is mixed with white soaps to produce a blue color. If enough essence is used, the chamomile will also impart its scent to the soap. Depending on the time and temperature of distillation, chamomile oil can appear as many other colors, and the intensity of its aroma can also vary. In some cases, the oil can even be made of gold, which is particularly prized by the French.

Despite its widespread use in cosmetics, the benefits of azulene cream are controversial. In 2009, MedlinePlus, a database maintained by the US National Library of Medicine, published an ongoing study of hundreds of medical uses for chamomile. Of all the chamomile essences currently on the market, only 15 have been the subject of medical study. Azulene face cream was on the list of items that could not be considered clearly beneficial or harmful when used as a treatment for skin conditions.
