Helichrysum, from the ancient Greek helios and chrysos which means “Golden Sun”, is a Mediterranean aromatic plant that stands out for its bright color during the inflorescence period, in summer.
Known since ancient times, it is still used today, mainly for its therapeutic, anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties.
What makes helichrysum a precious ally of the skin, often recommended in treatment protocols useful for combating various dermatological problems, is the richness of active ingredients that are contained in it and which are enhanced in synergy: essential oils, triterpenes, flavonoids, caffeic acid, tannins and phytosterols.
