The Blue Tansy essential oil is the steam distilled oil extracted from the Flower heads of the Tanacetum annuum plant which is renowned for its very rare vibrant blue color and abundant herbal compounds.

What is Vanilla CO2 Extract?

Benefits of Vanilla CO2 Extract in Skincare

Vanilla CO2 extract, obtained from the Vanilla planifolia Bean, is not just a delightful fragrance; it also offers several benefits for the skin.

CO2 Extracts, also known as Supercritical extracts are still a relatively new & little known plant extraction method. Used predominantly in the food & pharmacuetical industries, it is gaining popularity in cosmetuticals too.

Widely regarded as the superior method of extraction of Oils & herbal extracts, this premium technique is carried out in the entire absence of light, heat & air allowing premium grade extracts to be produced, free from contaminants.

How does it work? The plant material is put into a sealed stainless steal drum. CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is pumped into the drum at very high pressure which turns the gas into a very cold liquid. The drum is spun at incredible speeds, creating a centrifugal force which drives the plant extract from the plant material, leaving behind just the fibre. Once completed, the spinning is stopped and the pressure within the drum is lowered which turns the Carbon dioxide from a liquid back into a gas. This gas is captured in a closed system making it environmentally sound. 

- Antioxidant Properties: Vanilla is known to be a rich souce of antioxidants such as Vanillin.  

- Soothing & Calming: Vanilla CO2 extract provides consistent theraputic properties known to be very soothing for inflammed skin, making it great for calming sensitive skin. The scent of real Vanilla is in itself very theraputic.
