Helichrysum Essential oil

[Cherrydene soapy]

Has anyone used Helichrysum EO in cp soap, it looks very expensive however it apparently is very good for your skin. Thanks for your support

Why waste it in a wash-off product such as soap, use it in a leave-on product such as a nice body butter or lotion

Thank you thinking about it, makes sense

I agree with Carolyn. Helichrysum is not the kind of essential oil I'd use in soap. My preference is to use it in leave on products intended for specific healing purposes-- like a face serum or a medicinal salve.

Thank you just doing a bit of research to EO that might help with acne and healing properties. Any advice?

I haven't used helichrysum for acne, so I don't have any suggestions for you. It's anti inflammatory, so it would help reduce redness and swelling.

I think AromaWeb is a reputable online source for basic EO information. https://www.aromaweb.com/essential-oils/helichrysum-oil.asp

Nature's Gift sells EOs, so there's that conflict of interest there, but the owner Marge Clark has a good reputation as an experienced aromatherapist who provides reputable advice. https://www.naturesgift.com/aromath...o-use-essential-oils/essential-oils-skincare/ Also see her blog.

I also recommend Tisserand and Young's book Essential Oil Safety, but that's not online nor free.
