Concern level

Moderate concern

Blue tansy essential oil is a volatile aromatic oil obtained from Tanacetum annuum, typically steam-distilled from the flowering tops. It is used mainly as a fragrance ingredient and for its perceived soothing, anti-redness profile in leave-on skincare. The oil’s blue color is due to chamazulene formed during distillation; composition can vary by chemotype and batch.
