Blue tansy is an incredibly soothing oil with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It’s a beautiful blue hue due to a chemical compound in the ingredient called chamazulene (it’s also packed with anti-inflammatory properties). While there isn’t much clinical research behind blue tansy, many people who use it have found their skin redness and irritation significantly relieved.

Blue tansy also has camphor in its makeup, which is antibacterial and antifungal, allowing it to relieve itch and promote wound healing and skin repair. This ingredient’s antioxidant capabilities also protect your skin from free radical damage, preventing the collagen and elastin breakdown that can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. In that way, it leaves your skin smooth, supple, and bouncy.

Blue tansy on its own can be very concentrated and actually irritate the skin. That's why it’s best to use this essential oil in an intentionally formulated product instead.
