How much do I need?

Helichrysum essential oil is one of the most quietly distinctive oils we carry. It’s warm, honeyed, and unhurried in the way it reveals itself. 

Steam distilled from the flowering tops of Helichrysum italicum, known in many traditions as Immortelle or Everlasting, it carries a complex, slightly sweet herbal character that holds its own in any formula it enters. 

Skin care formulators prize it for its depth and compatibility in facial oils, balms, and mature skin products. Natural perfumers use it as a distinctive mid note that adds warmth and herbal complexity without pulling focus. It is an oil that rewards careful, considered use.

How to use

Dilute carefully and thoughtfully for use in skin-focused blends, facial oils, and balms where its complex herbal-honeyed aroma adds both depth and intention to the formula.

Helichrysum is widely regarded as one of the most prized oils in natural skin care, often incorporated into serums, facial oils, and balms designed for mature, sensitive, or post-sun skin. A popular addition to scar and blemish support formulas, including targeted spot treatments and healing salves, when properly diluted.

Commonly included in high-end natural perfumery as an unusual, distinctive mid note that adds warmth and herbal complexity. Often used in slow wellness routines, meditation blends, and grounding rituals where its gentle, restorative quality complements an intentional atmosphere.

Can be diffused in small amounts in grounding and contemplative blends where a warm, honeyed herbal note deepens the aromatic experience. Frequently added to luxury body oils and balms where both aroma and quality are prioritized.

Often used conservatively and extended with complementary florals and resins.

Caution

Skin sensitivity may occur. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to the skin. Keep out of reach from children. If pregnant or breastfeeding please ask your doctor before use.
