Balance. Soothe. Restore

Loved by sensitive skin — and a daily favorite for clear, balanced glow.

Some days your skin feels reactive or unsettled. Other days, you simply want a lightweight, nourishing oil that keeps everything clear, balanced, and at ease. Blue Cica Balancing Elixir is made for both.

This fast-absorbing botanical serum-oil helps calm visible irritation, refine texture, and support a clear, peaceful complexion — without heaviness or clogging pores. Centella asiatica, blue tansy, and bisabolol soothe sensitivity and redness, while willow bark and bakuchiol gently encourage clarity and renewal. Lightweight plant oils nourish the barrier and restore harmony, leaving skin soft, balanced, and quietly radiant.

Use it daily to keep your skin grounded and glowing — through flare-ups or simply to maintain calm, healthy skin every day.

how it's different and why it works

What makes the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir different is its ability to calm, clarify, and restore harmony to skin that feels overwhelmed—whether from breakouts, inflammation, or imbalance.

Unlike conventional acne treatments that can strip or irritate, this lightweight botanical oil blend soothes stressed, blemish-prone skin while supporting long-term resilience. A calming trio of blue tansy, centella asiatica, and willow bark extract helps reduce redness, congestion, and reactivity, while magnolia bark extract and bisabolol deliver powerful anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits.

Nourishing oils like milk thistle, copaiba, and echium support barrier health, and bakuchiol gently refines skin texture and clarity without the harshness of traditional retinol. It works because it restores balance—leaving reactive, oily, or combination skin visibly calmer, clearer, and more at ease.

"When skin feels overwhelmed—oily, reactive and unpredictable—I created Blue Cica Balancing Elixir to be the calm in the middle. Using oil on oily skin sounds backward, but a healthy barrier needs both oil and water to feel safe. This lightweight, non-comedogenic elixir helps quiet inflammation, ease congestion, and steady shine without stripping.

A few drops between watery steps seal hydration, teach skin to pace its own oil, and soften the look of redness so you stop second-guessing every product. The goal isn’t matte; it’s harmony—clearer pores, fewer flare-ups, and a comfortable glow that lasts".

With love, Birgit

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir in my skincare routine?

If your skin feels out of sync—whether from breakouts, sensitivity, excess oil, or irritation—the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir is the reset your skin is craving. This lightweight, non-comedogenic treatment oil is specifically formulated to restore harmony to reactive or acne-prone skin without clogging pores or disrupting your natural barrier.

Unlike traditional face oils, this elixir is rich in skin-calming botanicals like blue tansy, centella asiatica (cica), copaiba, and echium oil that work together to reduce inflammation, calm redness, and promote healing. Plant-based retinol alternative bakuchiol and willow bark extract gently smooth texture and support clearer, more balanced skin—without the harshness of synthetic actives.

It’s especially beneficial if you deal with:

  • Frequent breakouts or congested skin
  • Redness, irritation, or barrier damage
  • Skin that leans combination or oily but craves equilibrium and comfort
  • Sensitivity to conventional acne productsts

With consistent use, Blue Cica helps regulate oil production, soothe inflammation, and strengthen your skin’s resilience against environmental stressors—all while delivering that calm, clarified glow.

This isn’t just a face oil—it’s targeted skin therapy for stressed, imbalanced complexions.

How is the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir different from the older version of Azul Face Oil?

New Name, Upgraded Formula—Same Skin-Soothing Mission

Formerly Azul Clarifying Face Oil, this treatment has been reimagined as Blue Cica Balancing Elixir—an upgrade in both name and formula.

Enhanced with centella asiatica (cica), copaiba resin, and echium oil, it goes beyond soothing to actively strengthen and restore balance, while blue tansy remains at its heart. The experience is the same—lightweight, calming, non-clogging—but the benefits are deeper and more restorative than ever.

What form of bakuchiol do you use in the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir?

Our Bakuchiol is not the same as bakuchiol oil, babchi oil, and NOT cold-pressed babchi seed oil. It’s purchased through the only supplier of true Bakuchiol and is backed with clinical data that of proven efficacy as a natural retinol alternative in a cosmetic formulation.

We use the maximum recommend amount of bakuchiol in our formulation.

Can I use this oil with other products or under makeup?

Yes! Blue Cica Balancing Elixir layers beautifully with serums and moisturizers and creates a smooth, radiant canvas for makeup. Just give it a minute or two to absorb before applying foundation or SPF.

Which face elixir is right for me, the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir or the Arctic Berry Radiance Elixir?

Our two botanical face oils—Arctic Berry Radiance Elixir and Blue Cica Balancing Elixir—are each formulated to support different skin needs, while sharing the same commitment to high-performance, plant-powered skincare.

Blue Cica Balancing Elixir is perfect for oily, acne-prone, sensitive, or imbalanced skin. This calming, fast-absorbing elixir is formulated for skin that flares up easily—whether from breakouts, irritation, or environmental stress. Powered by centella asiatica, bakuchiol, milk thistle, and echium oil, Blue Cica helps soothe redness, balance oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier. Its lightweight texture and clarifying botanicals make it ideal for reactive or breakout-prone complexions needing calm without congestion.

In contrast, Arctic Berry Radiance Elixir is ideal for dry, dull, mature, or sun-damaged skin. This silky, fast-absorbing oil delivers deep nourishment and antioxidant protection, leaving skin visibly radiant and resilient. It’s powered by brightening and barrier-repairing oils like cloudberry seed, pomegranate seed, red raspberry, and kalahari melon. Botanical extracts such as centella asiatica, CoQ10, and osmanthus offer additional support against oxidative stress and signs of aging. The scent is soft and uplifting, featuring sweet orange and osmanthus essential oils.

Can I use a face oil if I have oily skin?

A common myth (that couldn’t be further from the truth) is that certain skin types - particularly oily skin - should avoid facial oils to prevent breakout activity or excess shine. However, the fact is that all skin types can benefit greatly from incorporating oil into their regular care routine, as it is a key component to healthy barrier function and balance.

The trick is simply choosing the right oil for your type. If you’re concerned about breakout activity, look for plant-based or botanical oils that are non-comedogenic. Facial oils work best when applied about once per day (or more if your skin is dry) in order to prevent the skin from becoming too dry and producing excess sebum to compensate.

Is Blue Cica Balancing Elixir packaging recyclable?

Yes, the glass bottle and cap can be recycled after rinsing. Our cardboard is made from FSC certified paper and recyclable.

What is the shelf life of the Blue Cica Balancing Elixir?

The shelf life of our Blue Cica Balancing Elixirl is 8 months from the date of purchase. Since it is formulated with natural, plant-based ingredients, we recommend enjoying it sooner rather than storing it for prolonged periods. 

Natural products are most effective when fresh, as their potency may diminish over time. To maintain its quality, store the face oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using the face oil within its shelf life ensures your skin benefits from its full brightening and nourishing properties.

How long will the 1oz Blue Cica Balancing Elixir?

One full size bottle will last 2-3 months, depending on how many drops you use per application. Three drops applied 2x per day will last about 3 months.
