Helichrysum Essential Oil
INCI Helichrysum Italicum Flower Oil
Overview
A warm, honeyed, herbaceous essential oil distilled from helichrysum flowers.
What it is
Helichrysum Essential Oil is distilled from Helichrysum italicum, sometimes called the “everlasting” or “immortelle” flower for how long its blooms retain their colour and shape after picking. The oil carries a warm, honeyed, slightly herbaceous aroma.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Helichrysum italicum grows across the Mediterranean, particularly Corsica and the Balkans. The flowers are steam-distilled to draw out the essential oil.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes a warm, honeyed, herbaceous note to a finished product’s scent profile.
Why Lovebee uses it
Helichrysum has such an unusual, warm honeyed quality — it’s not quite like anything else, and we like the depth and character it adds to a more complex blend.
Good to know
- Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.
Common questions
- What does Helichrysum smell like?
Warm and honeyed, with a herbaceous edge — distinctive and hard to compare to other scents.
- Why is Helichrysum called the "everlasting" flower?
Its blooms retain their colour and shape for an unusually long time after being picked, which gave rise to the nickname.
- Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?
Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
