Paramount among all healing oils in aromatherapy is helichrysum where it is also known as “everlasting” and “immortelle.” Helichrysum is cosmetically and therapeutically unparalleled in its ability to support skin health and healing. The go-to oil for skin beautifying and restorative serums, helichrysum is potent, safe, and exceptionally effective. This extraordinary distillation of immortelle, with its rich, herbaceous, honey-like bouquet, is equally suitable for both topical applications as well as perfume blending.
Very few oils can match Helichrysum italicum for its affinity and effectiveness for use on the skin. It excels at supporting supple skin health.
