Blue Tansy Healing Balm

Blue tansy oil (Tanacetum annuum) is a powerful essential oil with several benefits for the skin, mainly due to its high content of chamazulene (which gives it its signature deep blue color) and sabinene.

Here are its main skin benefits:
• Anti-inflammatory: Blue tansy is excellent for calming inflamed, irritated skin. It’s especially good for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
• Soothing and calming: It reduces redness, sensitivity, and reactivity in the skin — great for people with sensitive or reactive skin types.
• Antioxidant: It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage, which can contribute to premature aging.
• Antibacterial and antifungal: It helps fight acne-causing bacteria and can promote clearer skin.
• Skin healing: It supports the repair of damaged skin, making it useful for minor burns, cuts, and abrasions.
• Hydrating and nourishing: Although essential oils don’t provide hydration like water-based products, blue tansy helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier when blended properly into a carrier oil or balm.
• Aromatherapy benefits: Its scent is calming and stress-relieving, which can indirectly benefit the skin by lowering cortisol (stress can trigger breakouts and irritation).
