Helichrysum, scientifically known as Helichrysum italicum, is a diminutive perennial herb characterized by its slender silver leaves and a cluster of spherical, golden yellow blossoms. Its name “Helichrysum” originates from the Greek words “helios,” meaning sun, and “chrysos,” meaning gold, alluding to the vibrant hue of its flowers. This botanical gem has been a staple in herbal medicine since ancient Greece, with its essential oil being highly esteemed and in demand for its numerous health-enhancing properties.

Preclinical investigations indicate that Helichrysum may offer support and protection to the skin while potentially diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes. However, further clinical research is essential to corroborate these findings. Often referred to as the Everlasting or Immortal Flower, Helichrysum is a coveted ingredient in anti-aging products due to its rejuvenating effects on the skin.
