🌿 Introduction
Blue Tansy Essential Oil, also known as
Moroccan Tansy , is a
rare, vibrant, and soothing oil steam-distilled from the yellow flowering tops of
Tanacetum annuum . Despite its golden blossoms, the oil emerges as a
deep sapphire blue due to its high content of
chamazulene , a powerful anti-inflammatory compound also found in German Chamomile.
Its fragrance is
sweet, fruity, herbaceous, and slightly floral , with subtle camphoraceous undertones. In aromatherapy, Blue Tansy is prized for its ability to
calm the mind, ease inflammation, and soothe sensitive skin . In perfumery, it brings a
unique fruity-herbal depth and rare blue hue to blends.
At Herbsmetics, Blue Tansy oil is featured in our
Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests discover its
rare beauty and balancing character .
