Spotlight on Blue Tansy
A Rare Treasure from Morocco

What Makes Blue Tansy Special

Blue Tansy may begin as a tiny yellow flower, but during steam distillation it transforms into the brilliant sapphire-blue essential oil loved by aromatherapists around the world. Its naturally occurring constituent, chamazulene, creates both its remarkable color and much of its appeal.

With a sweet, floral aroma and luxurious feel, Blue Tansy fits beautifully into skin care routines, relaxing massages, and peaceful moments of reflection. Young Living also includes this botanical in several of its most recognized blends.

A Signature Reflection

Connect the Dots

Blue Tansy reminds us that remarkable beauty sometimes appears through transformation. Tiny yellow flowers become a brilliant blue essential oil only after the distillation process. In much the same way, life's refining seasons often reveal strengths and gifts that remain hidden until the journey unfolds.
