WHAT IS BLUE TANSY?
The blue tansy plant (Tanacetum annuum) is a member of the chamomile family and grows in Morocco and parts of the Mediterranean region. The essential oil extracted from the plant is steam-distilled from the bright yellow flower tops.
Blue tansy contains an antioxidant called chamazulene which gives the essential oil its deep blue color (formed during the steam distillation process). This anti-inflammatory compound has the ability to reduce free radical damage of the skin as well as having a calming effect on the skin.
Blue tansy also contains anti-inflammatory compounds of camphor, myrcene, pinene, and sabinene -- making it an excellent ingredient to include in your skincare routine.
This rare, soothing oil has a sweet, apple-like, herbaceous scent loved by many who stumble upon this vibrant oil.
PRO TIP
When reviewing product ingredients, check that the essential oil is pure and sustainably harvested. Reports validating purity should also be available on an essential oil company's website. Ideally, selecting essential oils that are USDA-certified organic is a great plus as well (#readyourlabels). The USDA-certified organic label ensures the oil does not contain any GMOs, synthetic fertilizers or harmful pesticides
