Pure Indigenous Cape Gold Helichrysum Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the bright yellow flowering tops of Helichrysum splendidum, a cherished South African species found along Eastern Cape mountain slopes and gullies. Its sweet-herbaceous, honeyed aroma is loved in aromatherapy for clarity, calm focus, and ceremonial space-clearing.

I acquired this and the Escentia African Helichrysum together. The Splendidum variety represents the imphepho that is most commonly burnt as an ode to the ancestors in traditional African healer culture. This one from Pure Indigenous is ‘sweeter’ to me.
Incredibly happy with my Pure Indigenous products - lovely, uplifting fragrance of Helichrysum.
Excellent service. As always.
Thanks Isel!
