Blue Tansy: Recovery in Bloom
Blue Tansy isn’t blue by nature— it becomes blue through transformation.
During steam distillation, the yellow flowers of Tanacetum annuum yield an indigo essential oil rich in chamazulene, the compound responsible for both its color and its reputation for calming irritation.
We use it in our Lucid Dream Face Oil Serum because it captures everything Ye Olde Biddy stands for: recovery, balance, and beauty that deepens through experience.
In skincare, blue tansy’s chemistry is similar to its cousin, German chamomile.
Both produce azulene compounds that visibly soothe stressed, redness-prone skin. Yet their personalities differ — chamomile is soft and floral, while blue tansy feels wild and grounding, like cool forest air after summer rain.
That’s what turns Lucid Dream from a routine step into a sensorial ritual: a few drops, a breath in, and the aroma steadies the nervous system before the mirror does the rest.
We named it Lucid Dream because of that feeling — light on the skin, clarifying to the senses, quietly transformative.
It’s the kind of calm awareness that helps you feel more present in your own life, not hidden from it.
That’s the heart of age-positive care: not erasing the years, but supporting the skin — and the person — who has earned them.
For me, blue tansy is more than a beautiful blue oil — it’s a reminder.
It thrives where the soil is rough, turning adversity into vibrancy. The moment its aroma fills the air, I’m reminded that resilience is beautiful.
That’s why it anchors Lucid Dream, and why it will always hold a special place at the heart of this brand: calm restored, glow renewed, balance found.
With calm and radiance,
Ye Olde Biddy
