Escentia Helichrysum (African) Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil steam distilled from the flower
tops of
<em>Helichrysum splendidum</em>
. It is used in aromatherapy, room fragrancing, and diluted skin and body blends where a more herbaceous, restorative
botanical note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or perfume. Sourced from South
Africa, it should always be used with care and proper dilution.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: African helichrysum is one of those beautifully characterful oils that feels both grounding and
quietly uplifting in a blend. It is especially appealing for makers who enjoy working with distinctive South African
botanicals in thoughtful skin, body, and home fragrance formulations.
