Pure Indigenous African Immortelle Helichrysum Essential Oil is a pure steam-distilled essential oil from Helichrysum odoratissimum, also known as Imphepho. Native to South Africa, it has a warm, honeyed, herbaceous aroma that works beautifully in evening diffuser blends, steam rituals, and more grounding body oil formulations. This is a concentrated essential oil and should always be diluted before topical use.
♡ Why we love it: African Immortelle has a beautifully layered scent that feels both comforting and clarifying. It is especially lovely when you want something softly herbaceous with a little warmth and depth.

About Essential Oils In General
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences. The ingestion of essential oils is not recommended without prior advice from your health care practitioner. Dilute in a carrier or base when necessary. Read our quick guide: Essential Oils

Oh the beauty of natures diversity expressed through Helichrysum ! This distillate is full bodied, juicy and healthy in its camphorous notes. It’s quite grounding and I like to use it alongside the Pure Indigenous Silverbush essential oil.
African Immortelle is one of the most interesting South African essential oils around and quite different to the distillates of other Helichrysum species.
From an organoleptic standpoint, the oil contains both animalic, slightly grassy and yellow-floral facets, a rather unique top-middle note that works well in Amber-Floral fragrances when paired with other top notes like Cedrat.
I am consistently blown away by how reliable and fast Essentially Natural is in fulfilling orders. My most recent order took less than a couple of hours to receive! Thank you for the great service and fantastic selection of products.
From purchase to delivery everything was hassle-free and the wonderful staff of Essentially Natural updating me on my package every step of the way :)
