Known since Antiquity, Helichrysum, also known as “Immortelle”, is a small plant about 50 centimetres tall, belonging to the Asteraceae family. This plant, with its yellow flowers that never fade, is etymologically a concentrate of sun (Helios) and gold (Chrysos). In aromatherapy, it’s also a concentrate of formidable properties in a single plant.
A Mediterranean plant, this Asteraceae loves the arid, sandy soils of Corsica and Sardinia, but also adapts well to the south of France.
Its composition of esters (neryl acetate) and ketones (diones) is characteristic. However, concentration levels fluctuate widely. These determine variable quality levels depending on origin and distillation method. Depending on the region, Immortelle flowers are distilled from late June to late July, to extract the precious essential oil and floral water with their warm, spicy fragrance.
What are the benefits of Italian Helichrysum (Immortal)?

Finally, in case of a sprain, Italian Helichrysum can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. In short, this plant is a true ally for the health and beauty of the skin.
