What is Blue Tansy Essential Oil?

Blue Tansy Essential Oil is extracted from the flowers of Tanacetum annuum through steam distillation. The collected flowers are placed in a distillation vessel, where steam is passed through them. The steam helps release and extract the volatile aromatic compounds in the flowers. This steam carries the aromatic molecules and is then passed through a cooling system, where it condenses and turns into an aqueous liquid containing both water and essential oil. The beautifully scented oil is then collected, filtered and packaged!

What are the benefits of Blue Tansy Essential Oil?

Helps soothe the skin
Blue Tansy contains a high level of chamazulene. This has many beneficial effects on the skin, such as reducing redness and blemishes and especially soothing and softening the skin! This makes it a fantastic ingredient for sensitive skin.

Fights skin aging
Blue Tansy is known for its ability to rejuvenate the skin and can help reduce signs of aging. Blue Tansy Essential Oil is packed with antioxidants, such as chamazulene and sabinene. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals. Free radicals can cause cell damage resulting in premature skin aging such as wrinkles and fine lines.

Hydrates the skin
Blue Tansy helps retain moisture in the skin. Well-hydrated skin looks fuller and smoother and is less susceptible to wrinkles.

Strengthens the skin barrier
Blue Tansy protects against environmental damage (such as pollution and UV radiation) and strengthens the skin barrier. A strong skin barrier is essential for maintaining radiant skin.

Reduces blemishes
Blue Tansy is a good Essential Oil for skin with blemishes. It regulates sebum production and inhibits bacterial growth, making pimples less likely to form. Additionally, it helps reduce redness after pimples appear.

Improves skin texture
Blue Tansy oil supports the skin's natural repair process, promoting faster recovery and more even and smooth skin.

Soothes the scalp
Blue tansy oil has soothing properties that can soften a red scalp. Especially for a sensitive scalp, this oil can be a solution!

Hydrates the scalp
Blue Tansy Essential Oil helps hydrate both the scalp and hair, reducing dryness and flaking. A well-hydrated scalp is essential for healthy hair.

Stimulates hair growth
By improving blood circulation in the scalp, Blue Tansy can indirectly contribute to stimulating hair growth. Better blood circulation ensures that more nutrients and oxygen reach the hair follicles, which can promote hair growth.

Aromatherapy
Blue Tansy Essential Oil has a wonderful and calming aroma that helps reduce stress and anxiety. Use Blue Tansy to calm your nervous system, relieve tension and create a general feeling of relaxation. Or use it in the evening to promote deeper and more restful sleep. The pleasant and sweet scent helps improve mood and is ideal to use when you're feeling a bit down!
