Helichrysum essential oil, certified organic
Of the many species of Helichrysum, Helichrysum italicum is the most prized, often referred to as Everlasting or Immortelle for its long-standing use and distinctive, honeyed aroma.
While it comes with a higher price tag, Helichrysum essential oil is exceptionally potent and shelf-stable, meaning a little goes a long way. Just a few drops can bring depth and character to formulations, making it a valuable addition to any aromatherapy or skincare collection.
Our certified organic Helichrysum italicum essential oil is sourced from Bulgaria, where the sunny, dry summers and well-drained, mineral-rich soils support the growth of high-quality Helichrysum. The flowers are steam distilled using traditional methods that preserve the plant’s natural aromatic and chemical profile.
About Helichrysum Essential Oil
Helichrysum is valued in aromatherapy for its rich, warm, and grounding scent, often described as sweet and slightly herbal with notes of honey and tea. It is used in emotional and spiritual blends to encourage calm, clarity, and balance.
In home fragrance, its soothing scent pairs beautifully with citrus, floral, and woody notes, while in skincare it can be added (well diluted) to massage blends and creams for a luxurious aromatic experience.
