ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM

BLUE YARROW FLOWER OIL

Blue Yarrow Flower Oil is derived from the Achillea millefolium plant, more commonly known as yarrow. Native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, yarrow has been a staple in traditional medicine systems for thousands of years. Named after the Greek hero Achilles, legend has it that he used yarrow to heal wounds during the Trojan War. The oil’s striking blue color arises from its chamazulene content, which forms during the steam distillation process of the flower. Historically, yarrow has been employed for a wide range of therapeutic uses, from fever reduction to aiding in digestion. When it comes to its chemical composition, blue yarrow oil is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants. For the skin, this oil is a gem: its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation, proving beneficial for conditions like acne and dermatitis. Additionally, its astringent qualities can help tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of pores. The oil also boasts antimicrobial properties, which can assist in preventing infections and promoting wound healing. Its aromatic scent further imparts a calming effect, contributing to emotional well-being. As a versatile and potent botanical extract, blue yarrow flower oil continues to be a cherished ingredient in contemporary skincare and therapeutic products.
