Few products created a kind of paradoxical hush-hush craze resulting in adoration, multiple sold-outs, and waiting lists such as Herbivore's Lapis did when it hit the market (or the influencers); soon after, more brands were emerging with blue tansy for its star ingredient, but certainly not in mass-produced, drugstore numbers — by both count and price. This kept blue tansy beauty products more in the realm of splurge, thus adding to their desirability and devotion. Board-certified dermatologist and medical director and owner of GlamDerm, Dr. Liam Mack, MD FAAD, discusses our burning questions on blue tansy flower oil and its uses in skincare.

We also asked about formulas that best deliver that blue tansy goodness, about who will benefit from giving it a try, and about tangible and visible results expectancy. We've got all that, and an excellent discovery-set-type roster of blue tansy skincare products — including doctor's own product recommendations: "Two of my favorite products that contain blue tansy are by Provence Beauty. Their Deep Bleu Cloud Night Moisturizer and the Alpha-Bet Elixir Super Power Facial Oil lock in moisture and combat signs of premature aging."

Oh, and by the way — because you must be curious — that blue hue comes from its naturally contained chemical component known as chamazulene.
