Organic helichrysum essential oil is steam-distilled from the bright yellow flowers of Helichrysum italicum, a plant native to the Mediterranean regions of Corsica, Croatia, and France. The name "immortelle" (French for "immortal" or "everlasting") refers to the flowers' remarkable ability to retain their golden color and shape even after drying, appearing frozen in time. Helichrysum oil is sometimes referred to as “liquid gold” in skincare and aromatherapy communities due to its distinctive aroma and naturally occurring compounds that contribute to its unique sensory profile. This oil has a long history of use in European botanical traditions and continues to be appreciated today as part of modern skincare and wellness routines.
Yes, helichrysum oil for face is commonly used when properly diluted.! For facial skincare use, dilute organic helichrysum essential oil to 1-2% strength by mixing 3-6 drops with 1 ounce (30ml) of carrier oil such as jojoba, rosehip seed, or argan oil. Apply this helichrysum facial blend as part of your skincare routine after cleansing—gently massage into facial areas using upward, lifting strokes. The sweet, herbaceous aroma of helichrysum oil provides a pleasant aromatic experience as part of your skincare ritual. For aromatic blending purposes, combine helichrysum essential oil with frankincense and lavender oils in your carrier base. Helichrysum oil is often used in routines for sensitive and mature-looking skin types. Always perform a patch test before first use and consult with a skincare professional for specific skin concerns.
Helichrysum essential oil has been traditionally valued in skincare routines due to its rich aromatic profile. For topical skincare applications, dilute organic helichrysum oil (2-3% in tamanu or rosehip carrier oil) and apply as part of your skincare routine to the desired area. Many users who incorporate helichrysum italicum essential oil into their skincare routines report enjoying the aromatic experience and prefer to continue use for several months as part of their regular beauty regimen. For skincare routine, consistency is key—helichrysum oil can be enjoyed as part of daily application rituals. As with any skincare product, individual results may vary, and it's always best to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare provider for specific skin concerns.
While organic helichrysum essential oil is considered one of the gentler essential oils, dilution is still recommended for most uses to ensure safety and proper skin tolerance. Helichrysum italicum oil may be applied neat in limited situations for very small areas, such as occasional spot application on minor skin concerns (1–2 drops applied directly to the affected area).
However, for facial use, mature skin care routines, larger areas, or regular application, always dilute helichrysum oil to 1–5% in a carrier oil to help reduce the risk of skin sensitization and support comfortable use. For children, elderly individuals, or those with sensitive skin, dilution is mandatory—do not use undiluted helichrysum essential oil on these populations.
Best practice is to properly dilute pure helichrysum oil unless use is directed by a qualified aromatherapy professional.
