IMMORTELLE ESSENTIAL OIL

Immortelle Essential Oil – a traditional Mediterranean plant essence

Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum), also known as everlasting, is a Mediterranean plant that grows on sunny, rocky soils along the coast. For centuries, it has been part of coastal herbal traditions, where it was associated with endurance, renewal, and protection.

Immortelle essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the flowering tops. It has a warm, herbal, slightly sweet aroma and is traditionally used externally and aromatically, where it is appreciated for its distinctive and balanced scent.

 Traditional aromatic and external use

Traditionally and in modern practice, immortelle essential oil is used externally and aromatically:

– diluted in massage oils and cosmetic preparations,
– in aromatic blends for personal and ambient use,
– as part of refined aromatic compositions,
– in external care products inspired by Mediterranean herbal traditions.

Due to its expressive aromatic profile, immortelle essential oil is typically used in small amounts and always diluted.
