• Floral-honey and warm fragrance: honeyed note, strawflower, slightly spicy. Very distinctive and appreciated in natural perfumery.
• 5ml: size adapted to this rare and precious EO. Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Why is helichrysum so expensive?
Corsican immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) grows in limited geographical areas (Corsica, Sardinia, Croatia) and its distillation yield is very low (200 to 800kg of flowers for 1 liter of EO). It is one of the rarest and most expensive EOs to produce.

What are italidiones specifically used for?
Italidiones (alpha-italidione, beta-italidione) are sesquiterpene diketones specific to Helichrysum italicum. They are the most studied active ingredients for the cosmetic care of bruises, scars, and mature skin. Their absence in EOs from other countries (Balkans vs Corsica) is an important quality criterion.

Can helichrysum really reabsorb a bruise?
In diluted topical application (1-2%) from the first hours after the impact, Corsican Helichrysum Italicum EO is very renowned for accelerating the resorption of bruises. It is one of its best-established cosmetic uses in aromatherapy.
