IMMORTELLE HYDROSOL (FLORAL WATER)

Immortelle Hydrosol – a traditional Mediterranean floral water

Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum), also known as everlasting, grows in sunny, rocky Mediterranean landscapes. For centuries, it has been part of coastal herbal traditions, where it was associated with protection, endurance, and renewal.

Immortelle hydrosol is a water-based aromatic distillate obtained through steam distillation of flowers and green parts of the plant. As a hydrosol, it represents a mild and gentle form of the plant, suitable for everyday external use.

 Traditional and contemporary external use

Traditionally and in modern practice, immortelle hydrosol is used externally:

– as a skin tonic for mature, tired, or sensitive skin,
– in compresses after exposure to sun, wind, or cold,
– as part of bathing and rinsing rituals intended for relaxation and renewal,
– for daily skin care after environmental or physical stress.

Herbal traditions often mention immortelle as a plant chosen when skin care focused on restoring freshness and balance.

 Use in natural cosmetics and aromatherapy

Due to its stability and gentle herbal-floral aroma, immortelle hydrosol is commonly used:

– as a base for creams, serums, lotions, and ointments,
– in natural soaps and balms,
– as a mild alternative to essential oil in aromatic preparations,
– in refreshing facial and body sprays.

 Why choose immortelle hydrosol?

Immortelle has traditionally been associated with:

– renewal and regeneration,
– skin and body care,
– support after physical or environmental strain,
– a warm, sun-associated plant character valued in Mediterranean traditions.

The hydrosol offers a gentle way to include this rich heritage in everyday external and cosmetic care.
