Introduction of Blue Tansy Essential Oil

The blue tansy flower (Tanacetum annuum) is a member of the chamomile family, meaning the plant is related to the well-known chamomile plant. It’s used to make blue tansy essential oil that is most often applied topically to the skin. The blue tansy plant, which is most commonly harvested in Morocco and parts of the Mediterranean region, contains the compound chamazulene, a type of antioxidant that is known to have calming effects on the skin, as well as the ability to fight free radical damage that contributes to signs of aging.
