About this ingredient
Immortelle extract is obtained from the plant Helichrysum italicum. INCI: Helichrysum Italicum Extract. In a formula it works as a soothing and antioxidant component: it contains flavonoids and aromatic compounds credited with anti-inflammatory and healing action, so the extract is added to products for sensitive and mature skin. Most of the data is traditional use and lab models, with few topical clinical studies. It is a supporting component rather than a lead active with a proven result. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. With sensitivity to Asteraceae plants it is best introduced cautiously. Tolerance. Irritation potential is low.
