Helichrysum Wild Harvested Essential Oil

Our beautiful Helichrysum Essential Oil, also commonly known as Immortelle Essential Oil or Everlasting Oil, is steam distilled from the hearty, yellow flowering tops of the Helichrysum italicum plant that grows wild in the dry, often rocky Mediterranean fields and mountains of Croatia. It is a stunningly beautiful therapeutic essential oil that makes an excellent addition to skin care formulas. Its aroma is rich, herbaceous and honey with tea-like, earthy undertones.

Helichrysum italicum means golden sun of Italy and is evocative of the striking habitat of this plant in its bright maize-colored meadows. Immortelle is French for immortal or everlasting and refers to the straw-like flowers that appear living even after they have dried - in a bright yellow color as if frozen in time. Immortelle is a plant that can grow in even the most depleted soils and under very harsh conditions, provided there is abundant sunshine.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.
