Blue Tansy Essential Oil – Tanacetum annuum | Calming & Restorative

Blue Tansy Essential Oil (Tanacetum annuum) is a true gem among essential oils — cherished for its deep indigo color and soft, herbaceous sweetness. Steam-distilled from the flowering tops of the Moroccan Blue Tansy plant, its stunning hue forms naturally during distillation when chamazulene — a powerful anti-inflammatory compound — emerges.

Gentle yet potent, Blue Tansy is revered for its ability to soothe redness, calm irritation, and support clear, radiant skin. Its grounding, subtly floral aroma also makes it a favorite in aromatherapy for relaxation, emotional balance, and nervous tension relief.
