Pure Indigenous Uninervium Everlasting Helichrysum Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam distilled from Helichrysum uninervium, a member of the Asteraceae family and one of the many Helichrysum species indigenous to Southern Africa. Hand-harvested from the harsh, sun-drenched and stony wild landscapes of the Waterberg, this rare oil has a distinctive aromatic character that opens with sweet mint and develops into spicy, herbaceous depths. Traditionally, Helichrysum species have long been valued in Southern African plant practice for respiratory wellness and skin care.
♡ Why we love it: This is an unusually characterful indigenous essential oil with a strong sense of place. Its layered sweet-mint and herbaceous aroma makes it especially interesting for aromatic blending, while its Waterberg origin and traditional botanical heritage set it apart from more familiar Helichrysum oils.
