This Is the All-Natural (Blue!) Beauty Ingredient You Haven’t Heard About Yet
Over the past few years, we have seen the number of natural skincare brands and beauty products skyrocket. One ingredient that has become a major trendsetter for natural beauty in 2015 has been blue tansy, a potent floral ingredient known for its deep blue hue. This flower is strong when ingested, but when rendered just right, it is a truly magical addition to any beauty routine. With antibacterial, antihistamine and general anti-inflammatory properties, this flower is the ultimate solution to irritated and red skin. Here are 14 of our fave products that feature this beautiful blue bombshell.
