Organic Croatian Helichrysum Essential Oil
Our Helichrysum from Croatia is a beautiful, therapeutic essential oil that makes an excellent and regenerative addition to skincare formulas. Its beneficial properties are known to help with wound healing, bruising, scarring, acne and a multitude of skin irritations.
Helichrysum contains the highest known amount of beta diketones in an essential oil. Diketones, found only in Helichrysum italicum, are highly regenerative and are responsible for Helichrysum’s reputation for promoting the formation of new tissue.1 While being well-known for its ability to speed cicatrization (wound healing), and for its antibacterial properties, studies have also shown Helichrysum to help alleviate post-trauma bruising and swelling.2 This calming oil soothes redness and irritation, helps control the appearance of skin blemishes and the appearance of resulting acneic scars,3 and reduces joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis.4,5
Although considered a safe oil, it is best used highly diluted in skin formulas and other therapeutic blends for optimal results. Helichrysum is a well-rounded oil that benefits every skin type and makes an important addition to natural therapy First Aid kits. It is noted that it is most active when used in a synergistic blend with other essential oils.6

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
