Blue Tansy essential oil is a cornerstone for glowing skin, but it is also a wonderful tool for calming the nervous system! This oil is one of the main reasons that many find Valor and Peace & Calming essential oils blends to be soothing. You can use Blue Tansy on its own to help release trauma and emotions stuck in the nervous system to allow the brain to create new, peaceful, positive thoughts and habits.
BACKGROUND
Native to Morocco, blue tansy is a rare botanical that is most commonly known for its use in luxury beauty products. Though blue tansy is harvested from tiny yellow flowers in the chamomile family, the naturally occurring constituent chamazulene turns the powerfully premium Blue Tansy essential oil a beautifully rich blue color during the steam-distillation process. It is steam distilled from the flowering plant.
Blue Tansy is a key component of Valor and Peace & Calming blends as well as Awaken, Highest Potential, Release, SARA and other oils and products.
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) is not the same oil as Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare).
BLUE TANSY & SKINCARE
Blue Tansy is a true skin-soothing superstar—best known for its vivid deep blue color (thanks to the compound chamazulene) and its powerful calming properties. If your skin tends to get fussy—think redness, irritation, or the occasional breakout—Blue Tansy can help bring things back into balance. It's a go-to ingredient in many high-end facial serums for good reason: it's gentle, supportive, and works beautifully to reduce inflammation while promoting a clear, even complexion.
What makes Blue Tansy so unique is that it’s both calming and revitalizing. It helps soothe reactive or sensitive skin while also encouraging regeneration—leaving your skin feeling nourished and looking radiant. Whether you're adding a drop to your favorite carrier oil for a custom facial blend or using it in a clay mask to reduce redness, this oil works in harmony with your skin’s natural rhythms. Plus, that dreamy herbal-sweet scent? Pure luxury during your nighttime ritual.
KEY CONSTITUENTS
Chamazulene: Responsible for Blue Tansy’s rich blue hue, this compound offers potent anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties—ideal for calming redness, irritation, and reactive skin.
Sabinene: A spicy, woody constituent that delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, helping to protect and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
Camphor: Known for its cooling, purifying effects, this component helps clarify congested skin and supports a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Myrcene: A gentle, calming terpene that promotes skin repair and reduces the appearance of stress-induced flare-ups, while offering antioxidant support.
