Description
Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) is one of the most distinctive essential oils in natural cosmetics, and not just for its cobalt blue color. Chamazulene, responsible for this color, is also the compound that provides the soothing and anti-inflammatory properties for which it is valued, making it suitable for the care of reactive skin with chronic redness or pruritus, rosacea, mild eczema, and skin allergic reactions.
The flower of Tanacetum annuum is yellow. The blue color appears exclusively during the steam distillation process, when a colorless precursor (matricin) is thermally transformed into cobalt-blue chamazulene.
air Olfactory profile: Sweet floral-fruity, with herbaceous notes and a slightly camphorous-balsamic undertone. Intense and persistent, sweeter than German Chamomile, with which it is sometimes confused.
Ingredients: Blue Tansy Essential Oil (Tanacetum Annuum Flower Oil)
100% pure and natural, E.O.B.B.D. botanically and biochemically defined, full spectrum, undenatured, undiluted

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Why is it blue if the plant's flower is yellow?
A: The blue color appears exclusively during the steam distillation process. The living plant contains a colorless precursor called matricin. Under the action of heat during the distillation process, matricin is chemically transformed into chamazulene - which is an intense cobalt blue. The more careful and complete the distillation, the purer the resulting color. It is a fascinating chemical transformation that gives each batch of Blue Tansy a visual footprint of its production.
Q: Does it stain the skin or clothes?
A: The skin: not permanently - chamazulene is absorbed and disappears quickly, at most leaving a slight temporary greenish tint. Cosmetic formulas become blue or greenish-blue, which is visually appealing in clear products. Textiles can be temporarily stained - caution is recommended upon contact with light-colored materials before the product is completely absorbed.
Q: What is the difference compared to German Chamomile?
A: Both contain chamazulene and are blue, but they are completely different species with distinct profiles. German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is dominated by alpha-bisabolol and bisabolol oxides, with a focus on sensitive skin, dermatitis, and irritation. Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) has a more complex profile with broader applications: antihistaminic, antispasmodic, circulatory. The aroma of Blue Tansy is sweeter-fruity; German Chamomile is more herbaceous-medicinal. They are not interchangeable, although they complement each other excellently in formulas.

I ordered this product for the second time. The quality is excellent. I highly recommend Ellemental products. They compare to those of expensive brands (I know from experience), but without the excessive marketing. They are genuine products that fulfill their therapeutic promises.

This oil combined with a moisturizer or fractionated coconut oil gave me a calming/moisturizing sensation on dry skin. I recommend using it diffused as well, 3-4 drops in a diffuser to overcome the change in weather more easily

Very concentrated, it dripped a little on my hand when making a blend and I thought that's how it would stay, it was like an ink stain, but it quickly pulled into the skin. Very good quality. As I said about Santal, maybe bring Blue Tansy in the 5 ml version. Anyway, next time I order, I'll get another one to be. I really like the smell too, it's similar to German chamomile, but this one is cooler.

It is less vascosic than another Blue Tansy essential oil I had, from another company, but the anti-inflammatory effect seems to be the same for acne-prone skin. I recommend!

It has a gorgeous color, in addition to the multiple properties it brings to the products in which it is added. The face cream had a lovely blue-blue color, which then turned a greenish green after a few weeks.
