Description
Blue Tansy Essential Oil is a premium essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the flowers and flowering tops of Tanacetum annuum. It is prized for its deep blue color, which comes from the naturally occurring compound chamazulene formed during distillation. Blue Tansy has a sweet, herbaceous, slightly fruity aroma and is widely used in luxury skincare, facial oils, serums, masks, and scalp care products due to its soothing and antioxidant properties.
