Product description

Floral water, hydrolate, Italian helichrysum in organic quality is an herbal aqueous cosmetic raw material obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops or aerial part of Italian helichrysum, Helichrysum italicum. The plant is also known as immortelle or everlasting. During distillation, a mildly aromatic aqueous phase is formed with a typical herbal, dry, honey-spicy scent, which is less concentrated than the essential oil of helichrysum.
Organic helichrysum hydrolate is suitable for mature, dry, sensitive, reddened, stressed or tired skin. In cosmetics it is used in facial toners, regeneration-oriented serums, products after shaving, after depilation, after sun exposure, in masks and emulsions where a comfortable skin feel is desired.

FAQ

Why is helichrysum also called immortelle?

The name is related to the flowers, which retain their shape and colour for a long time after drying. In cosmetics, the names helichrysum, immortelle or everlasting are often used.

Is it suitable after shaving?

Yes, it can be part of gentle aftershave products, especially in combination with panthenol, allantoin or betaine.

Is the scent of helichrysum suitable for everyone?

It is more pronounced, herbal and dry, therefore it is advisable to test it at the target concentration during formulation development.

Can it be combined with peptides?

Yes, it can form the water phase of a peptide serum, provided the pH and preservation are suitable for the specific peptide.

Is it suitable for a balm?

It is not directly suitable for an anhydrous balm because it is aqueous. It can be used in an emulsion balm with a suitable emulsifier and preservation.
