RENEWAL line & Organic Helichrysum

Benefits of Helichrysum in our RENEWAL Skin Care line

Helichrysum, often referred to as "immortelle" or "everlasting," is a popular ingredient in skincare due to its remarkable properties. It comes from the Helichrysum italicum plant, which is native to the Mediterranean region.

1. **Anti-Inflammatory**: Helichrysum has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
2. **Antioxidant**: It contains antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage, helping to prevent premature aging.

3. **Healing Properties**: The essential oil is known for its ability to promote wound healing and improve the appearance of scars and blemishes.

4. **Anti-Aging**: Its regenerative properties can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating cell turnover and collagen production.

5. **Antibacterial**: It has natural antibacterial properties that can help with acne and other skin conditions.

How to Use Helichrysum in Skincare
- **Essential Oil**: Often used in diluted form, helichrysum essential oil can be added to carrier oils (like jojoba or argan oil) and applied topically to the skin.

- **Serums and Creams**: Many skincare products incorporate helichrysum extract for its benefits. Look for it in serums, creams, and masks.

- **DIY Skincare**: You can make your own skincare products by adding a few drops of helichrysum essential oil to your favorite carrier oil or unscented moisturizer.

### Precautions

- **Patch Test**: Always do a patch test before using essential oils to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.

- **Dilution**: Essential oils should be diluted before applying them directly to the skin to avoid irritation.

Incorporating helichrysum into your skincare routine can offer a range of benefits, but as with any skincare ingredient, individual results can vary.
