Blue Tansy Essential Oil

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

What it is

Distilled from the tiny blossoms of the Moroccan blue tansy flower, this oil is as rare as it is striking. Its deep indigo color comes from chamazulene, a powerful compound formed during distillation. Long prized in apothecaries and traditional remedies, true blue tansy is scarce and precious — a calming elixir for both skin and spirit.
