OriginAzulene belongs to the aromatic hydrocarbon chemical family, typically synthesized from guaiazulene or produced through organic synthesis pathways. It is manufactured through catalytic conversion or chemical synthesis methods to create the stable blue compound used in skincare formulations.
Azulene is one of over 100 different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are chemicals that are formed during the incomplete burning organic substances, such as fossil fuels. They are usually found as a mixture containing two or more of these compounds. (L10)
