About

A sulfonated derivative of guaiazulene, a blue pigment from chamomile oil, used for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties in skin care.

Guaiazulene sulfonates are derivatives of the well-known chamomile anti-inflammatory agent guaiazulene, modified for improved water solubility. Azulene compounds are widely used in cosmetics for their anti-irritant and calming properties. The sulfonate modification is generally regarded as safe, though the ingredient should be assessed for residual sulfonation reagents. No EU Annex restrictions apply specifically to this compound class.
