Helichrysum Essential Oil

Helichrysum essential oil is often called the “Immortal Flower” because of its remarkable ability to support skin health, comfort the body, and promote renewal. Steam-distilled from the golden blossoms of Helichrysum italicum, this treasured oil has been used for centuries in Mediterranean wellness traditions. Rich in naturally occurring compounds valued for their soothing properties, Helichrysum is especially popular in skincare and recovery-focused blends. When diluted and applied topically, it may help support healthy-looking skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and comfort tired muscles after physical activity. Its warm, herbaceous aroma also encourages emotional balance, making it a favorite for both restorative self-care and everyday wellness rituals.

For topical use, Helichrysum essential oil should always be diluted with a Platinum Nourishing carrier oil before applying to the skin.

• 1% dilution: about 1 drop of Helichrysum essential oil per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
• 2% dilution: about 2 drops per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
  

Helichrysum is generally considered a gentle essential oil and is especially prized in skincare and recovery-focused applications. For facial use, delicate skin, or daily skincare routines, 1 drop per teaspoon is usually ideal. For targeted massage, muscle comfort, or intensive skin-support blends, 2 drops per teaspoon may be preferred.

Always perform a patch test before wider use. Although Helichrysum is typically well tolerated, individual sensitivities can occur. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or under medical care, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum)

• Helichrysum is generally considered a gentle and well-tolerated essential oil, but individual sensitivities can occur.
• Individuals with sensitive skin should begin with a lower dilution rate and increase gradually as tolerated.
• Because Helichrysum is often used in skincare applications, avoid applying directly to broken skin unless directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
• If using in facial care, avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Individuals taking blood-thinning medications or those with bleeding disorders should consult a healthcare professional before use, as Helichrysum has traditionally been associated with circulatory support.
