Why Immortelle Is Considered a Super Ingredient for the Skin
In recent years, the world of natural skincare has rediscovered the value of ancient botanical ingredients - remarkably effective, yet rooted in tradition. Among them, Immortelle has earned a place of honor. Also called the “everlasting flower” for its unique ability to never fully wither, Immortelle is now seen as a true super ingredient for the skin, thanks to its soothing, antioxidant, and regenerative properties.
In this article, we’ll explore why Immortelle is so valuable in skincare, what benefits it offers, which products it’s found in, and why more and more ethical, conscious brands - like Ninfa Skincare - choose it as a key part of their formulas.
What Is Immortelle and Where Does It Come From?
Helichrysum Italicum, commonly known as Immortelle, is a Mediterranean plant with bright yellow flowers, typically found along the coasts of Italy, France, and Greece. It grows naturally in dry, sun-drenched environments and has been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat skin inflammation, wounds, and even respiratory issues.
In natural cosmetics, Immortelle extract is mainly derived from the flowers using gentle methods such as steam distillation, which preserve its potent active compounds.
The Skincare Benefits of Immortelle
Immortelle offers multiple, synergistic benefits - making it especially prized in skin-focused formulas:
1. Natural Anti-Inflammatory Action
Immortelle is renowned for its powerful calming effect, making it particularly suitable for sensitive, reactive skin prone to redness or dermatitis. Rich in flavonoids and acetophenones, it acts as a natural skin soother, helping restore balance and comfort.
It’s ideal for those with rosacea, eczema, or redness triggered by environmental stress.
2. Potent Antioxidant for Aging Skin
The phenolic compounds in Immortelle provide deep antioxidant protection by neutralizing free radicals, slowing cellular aging, and enhancing the appearance of mature skin. Studies* show that Immortelle can stimulate collagen production, helping maintain skin that’s elastic, firm, and radiant.
*According to a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Helichrysum Italicum demonstrated significant antioxidant activity - greater than that of many other medicinal plants.
3. Healing and Regenerating Effect
Immortelle speeds up the skin’s healing processes. It’s especially helpful for minor wounds, razor irritation, acne, and blemishes. It encourages cell turnover and helps leave the skin smoother, stronger, and more even.
It’s a true ally for acne-prone or scarred skin.
