Blue Tansy Essential Oil Uses & Benefits

What is Blue Tansy essential oil and what is it good for?

Sapphire blue as the Mediterranean, Blue Tansy essential oil is prized for its skin-loving properties and luxurious scent that creates an uplifting, calming space. This rare oil is derived from tiny yellow flowers native to Morocco—the Tanacetum annuum plant. Its vibrant blue color comes courtesy of a naturally occurring constituent called chamazulene. Blue Tansy oil transforms any skin care routine into a royal treat—moisturizing and oh so luxurious. Its unique aroma adds a delightful mix of sweet, fruity, and herbaceous notes to any room.

Harvesting the power of the blue tansy plant

Imagine basking in the Moroccan sunshine amid a field of thousands of tiny yellow Tanacetum annuum flowers. On its way to becoming your cerulean skin care superhero, the blue tansy plant, or Moroccan tansy, begins its journey in lush fields along the Mediterranean coast. Ancient civilizations that sprang up around the Mediterranean Sea, including the Egyptians and the Greeks, harvested this precious plant for its beneficial properties. These days the tansy plant is sought for its rich blue essential oil to use as a popular ingredient in high-end skin care and beauty products.

How is Blue Tansy essential oil made?

Transforming those sunny yellow blooms and stems of the Tanacetum annuum plant into the brilliant blue essential oil requires steam distillation. During this process, the chamazulene and other constituents in the tansy plant’s stems and flowers are released into the steam and collected in its concentrated form that turns a distinctive, mesmerizing blue. The steam distillation process ensures that each drop of Blue Tansy oil arrives packed with skin care goodness that leaves you feeling pampered and radiant.

The natural composition of the oil itself

Blue Tansy combines beauty with power through its unique and beneficial chemical compounds. Chamazulene gives it that dreamy blue color and cleanses the skin. Camphor, another key constituent, adds a refreshing touch to delight the senses. Together, these components make Blue Tansy oil a versatile and effective addition to your skin care or personal aroma while promoting an uplifting atmosphere when diffused.

Blue Tansy oil safety guidelines and notices

While Blue Tansy oil is renowned for its soothing and calming properties, there are some important safety guidelines users should follow that ensure safe and effective use of this essential oil:

Avoid applying Blue Tansy oil near the eyes and ears

These areas are particularly sensitive to essential oils and should be avoided when applying Blue Tansy oil topically. Make sure all residue from the oil is washed off your hands and fingers before performing certain eye- or ear-related tasks such as inserting contact lenses.

Be cautious using Blue Tansy oil when you have medical pre-conditions

Blue Tansy oil, like other essential oils, may trigger conditions such as asthma or epilepsy. While some practitioners recommend Blue Tansy oil for asthma symptoms, be aware that the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology advises that individuals with asthma avoid essential oil diffusers and inhalers due to various risks. We highly recommend consulting with your doctor if you have questions and before you use any essential oils.

Conduct a skin test before applying Blue Tansy oil topically

Before you use Blue Tansy essential oil, you’ll want to perform what’s called a “patch test” or “skin test,” where you apply a single drop of Blue Tansy oil to a small area of your skin to check for a reaction. If your skin becomes hot or turns red, dilute the oil with a carrier or V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, with one drop of oil for every two drops of carrier oil.

Consult your doctor if pregnant before using Blue Tansy oil

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor before using Blue Tansy essential oil. Avoid contact with eyes, the inner ears, or sensitive areas.

Be cautious using Blue Tansy oil around pets

While it’s generally safe to use essential oils around pets, including diffusing the oil, be sure to follow specific safety guidelines when applying it directly to their skin or fur. Because your pet may have individual skin sensitivities, we recommend applying fewer drops of essential oils for your pets than you would use for a human. Dilute the essential oil when applying directly to your pet’s skin or fur for the first time. Note that some small animals, like cats, metabolize essential oils differently, requiring a “slow and low” approach. Consult your veterinarian with any questions.

Avoid ingesting Blue Tansy oil and ensure proper identification

Blue Tansy oil should not be ingested. Always ensure you’re using Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) essential oil and not common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), which contains high concentrations of thujone, making it unsuitable for aromatherapy.
