Pure Indigenous Silverbush Everlasting Helichrysum Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the aromatic foliage of Helichrysum petiolare, a much-loved South African species known locally as Imphepho/Kooigoed. With a soft, honeyed, herbaceous aroma, it's used in aromatherapy blends for breathing comfort, calm focus, and space-clearing rituals.
♡ Why we love it: Gentle, grounding, and unmistakably Cape-grown, it brings a warm, sweet-herbal note that feels both comforting and clarifying.

Oh the beauty of natures diversity expressed through Helichrysum ! The silverleaf Petiolare is actually my favourite variety of Impepho to use as a sacred smudge. This distillate has a very potent note that’s not quite piercing like camphorous, it’s actually a bit weird but has an almost intoxicating effect. I like to use it alongside the Pure Indigenous Immortelle Helichrysum essential oil to bring balance to its frequency.
