Product Introduction
Helichrysum absolute is a precious essential oil derived from the flowers of the Helichrysum italicum plant. It boasts a rich history in traditional medicine and has gained popularity for its unique scent and therapeutic properties. The oil is typically extracted through solvent extraction, producing a more concentrated and aromatic product compared to steam-distilled essential oils.
Production Process
The extraction process of helichrysum absolute involves using solvents to draw out the essential oil from the plant material. After the plant’s flowers are harvested, they are dried and subjected to solvent extraction, usually with ethanol. This method allows for the capture of the plant's aromatic compounds, resulting in a thick, golden liquid that retains the full profile of the Helichrysum plant’s fragrance and healing properties.
