Did you know that helichrysum is called the “immortal flower” or “everlasting flower”? This is due to its great rejuvenating benefits for the skin, as well as its use in anti-aging products.
Helichrysum essential oil is extracted from the golden flowers of the helichrysum plant and has a honey-sweet aroma and is – no surprise – a favorite skin care oil. When used externally, Helichrysum can help give your skin that “immortal” feeling as it refreshes and rejuvenates, especially when used on the face.
