Achillea Millefolium Oil is a clear indigo-blue liquid with a fruity, fresh, sweet, and pleasant odor. Rich in monoterpenes like alpha- (3-4%) and beta-pinene (5-6%), it exhibits a potent anti-inflammatory, vulnerary, healing (skin, wound), hemostatic (minor cuts, aftershave), decongestive and astringent, antispasmodic, cholagogue, choleretic, and anti-allergic properties.

Yarrow is from the Asteraceae family and has a long history of use as a medicinal botanical used by humans from ancient times. In traditional medicine, Achillea Millefolium Oil was used to treat neuritis, neuralgia, hepatobiliary and digestive insufficiency, renal lithiasis, sprain and strain, varicose ulcers, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea (painful or scanty periods), and prostatitis.

Achillea Millefolium Oil is helpful in topical preparations for treating eczema, razor burns, small cuts, cracks, and chapped skin. Its antioxidant, antibacterial, regenerative, and anti-inflammatory properties have been proven by numerous in vivo studies.

Incorporated in modern skin care applications, it soothes irritated skin, fights against acne, and speeds up the recovery of damaged skin. In anti-aging products, it helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, exposing a healthy, youthful, and radiant appearance.

In addition, Achillea Millefolium Oil can be used as a fragrance or a masking agent for formulations containing actives with unpleasant odor. It is a safe, well-studied, and effective ingredient for personal care applications.
