ArOmis’ helichrysum italicum essential oil is steam-distilled from the Helichrysum italicum species, one of 200 varieties of the plant. We source our helichrysum oil from Madagascar. Helichrysum essential oil offers a range of rejuvenating and restorative health benefits and is most often associated with skin health. It is an amazing antiseptic for cleansing and purifying, and may also make a great aphrodisiac.
