About this ingredient
Helichrysum gymnocephalum extract (INCI: Helichrysum Gymnocephalum Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract) is a botanical from the everlasting-flower family. In a formula it brings compounds with some antioxidant activity, and it is used to calm the feel of skin and reinforce its defence against oxidative stress. On efficacy: the rationale rests on its polyphenol and aromatic-oil content, with direct clinical evidence still thin. We treat it as a supporting soothing and antioxidant active with a modest base, not as a proven performer. It adds value inside a complete formula. In topical use it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding without any foreseeable risk. Tolerance is usually good, with low irritation and allergy potential. As an aromatic botanical extract, someone sensitised to plants in this family could react, though most people get nothing at all.
