Though this plant is commonly called “immortelle” historically, it has another interesting name “helichrysum”. In Greek, helios means “sun,” and chryos, means “gold.” So the “sun gold” plant was named for its vibrant and enchanting golden flowers but also because its everlasting blossoms do not wither or fade even when the plant is dried. The ancient Romans and Egyptians were familiar with the healing properties of this plant and references to it were made by Pliny the Elder, a first-century Roman naturalist.
Immortelle has been long prized by Mediterranean women who have also been known for their beauty for centuries. This everlasting botanical is at the heart of Olival’s anti-ageing and restorative skincare line.
The essential oil of Immortelle needs to be diluted and is often used in combination with the natural oils of the apricot seed, jojoba, macadamia, argan, wild rose and marigold for a synergistic effect that creates intense hydration and will make your skin soft and luminous.
All of these natural oils are well known for their gentle, yet powerful benefits for the skin.
Restore youthful natural radiance to your skin by using a few drops of Olival Golden Immortelle Oil daily in the morning and/or evening on its own or in combination with a serum of your choice and one of the immortelle skin creams from Olival’s line. Immortelle, the ancient beauty secret for our modern times!
