Plant family: Asteraceae

Latin name: Helichrysum Italicum (angustifolium)

Plant Part (steam distilled): Flowering tops

Origin: France

Our first helichrysum from France, this exquisite oil has the warmth of the sun-drenched fields of Southern France, a soft, initial floral signature, and then deepens into a resonant herbal finish. 

The plants have been distilled with the wisdom and care of a fourth-generation farmer.  Known as “Immortelle” or “Everlasting”, Helichrysum has been dubbed “the fountain of youth” because of its reputation as a very high-end, powerful ally for the skin. 

From a health standpoint, Helichrysum is a potent anti-inflammatory, cleanses and heals wounds, and reduces scarring (both internal and external) and lessens the appearance of old scars.  Applied topically, Helichrysum is a cholesterol balancer and respiratory support, and is known for treating bruises.   

On an emotional level, Helichrysum addresses emotional wounds and scarring, and helps to restore inner peace.
