Hydrosols

Why Choose Helichrysum Hydrosol for Your Skin?

Helichrysum hydrosol, also known as Immortelle hydrosol, is a mild plant water obtained during the steam distillation of Helichrysum italicum when producing essential oil. Unlike the highly concentrated essential oil, hydrosol is predominantly water-based, making it a gentle and versatile addition to an everyday skincare routine.

I’m Immortelle Helichrysum hydrosol is produced from Helichrysum italicum grown, harvested and steam-distilled in Bosnia & Herzegovina. It can be used as a facial mist, natural toner or as a lightweight first step before applying an oil or moisturiser.

If you are new to hydrosols and want to understand how they are produced, read our guide to what hydrosol is and how it is made.

What Are the Benefits of Helichrysum Hydrosol?

One of the main reasons people choose Helichrysum hydrosol for the face is its simplicity. Its fine, refreshing texture makes it easy to incorporate into both minimal and more complete skincare routines.

Helichrysum hydrosol can be used to:

- Refresh and tone the skin after cleansing
- Provide a light water-based step before facial oils or moisturisers
- Leave dry or tight-feeling skin feeling refreshed and comfortable
- Refresh the face throughout the day
- Complement routines for sensitive, dry, mature or combination skin
- Simplify a natural skincare routine with one versatile botanical product.
- Act as a second cleanse after washing of make up

Because every person’s skin is different, individual experiences can vary. Introduce new skincare products gradually and follow the directions provided with the product.

What Makes I’m Immortelle Helichrysum Hydrosol Different?

The quality of a hydrosol begins with the plant and the way it is produced.

Our Helichrysum italicum hydrosol is grown, harvested and steam-distilled in Bosnia & Herzegovina, using the Immortelle plant at the heart of the I’m Immortelle range.

The finished hydrosol is 100% pure, with no added alcohol, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. This gives you a simple and natural skincare product with a clear origin and purpose rather than a conventional toner containing a long list of added ingredients.

Transparency also matters to us. You can explore our certificates, technical documents and safety sheets to learn more about the testing and quality documentation behind I’m Immortelle products.

Helichrysum Hydrosol vs Essential Oil: What Is the Difference?

Although both products originate from Helichrysum italicum, Helichrysum hydrosol and Helichrysum essential oil are not the same product.

Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic plant extracts and are normally used in small quantities. Depending on the intended use, essential oils may also need to be diluted appropriately.

A hydrosol is predominantly water-based and much less concentrated. Its lighter texture makes it particularly convenient for facial misting, toning and refreshing the skin but also for kids, animals and people with sensitive skin and allergies.

You can therefore use both products within the same broader natural-care routine, but for different purposes. Use Helichrysum hydrosol as the light, water-based step and Helichrysum italicum essential oil separately according to its recommended directions.

How to Use Helichrysum Hydrosol on Your Face

Using Helichrysum hydrosol as a facial toner or mist is simple.

After cleansing, mist the hydrosol lightly over the face or to desired area. Allow it to settle naturally before continuing with the next step in your skincare routine.

A simple routine can look like this:

1. Cleanse your skin
2. Apply Helichrysum hydrosol as your water-based step
3. Follow with a suitable vegetable oil or face cream.

You can also mist your face during the day whenever you want a light, refreshing step. For additional ideas, explore our Helichrysum hydrosol how-to guide and recipes.

How to Combine Hydrosol with Vegetable Oils

Hydrosol and vegetable oils can complement one another because they provide different textures within the same skincare routine.

Hydrosol provides the light, water-based step, while vegetable oils add an oil-based layer to the skin to keep the moisture in.

For example, after applying Helichrysum hydrosol, you can follow with jojoba oil for a lightweight facial oil step or rosehip oil as part of a richer skincare routine.

Applying an oil while the skin is still slightly damp from the hydrosol can also make the two steps feel especially comfortable together.

A Simple Botanical Step for Everyday Skincare

A skincare routine does not need to be complicated to feel effective and enjoyable.

For many people, the appeal of Helichrysum hydrosol is its versatility. It can be used after cleansing, before facial oils, as a natural toner or simply whenever the skin needs refreshing during the day.

Whether you are discovering hydrosols for the first time or already use natural skincare, Helichrysum hydrosol offers an easy way to bring Helichrysum italicum into your everyday routine without complicating it.

What is Helichrysum hydrosol used for?

Helichrysum hydrosol can be used as a facial mist, natural toner or water-based step in a skincare routine. It can be applied after cleansing, before an oil or moisturiser, or during the day when you want to refresh the skin.

Can Helichrysum hydrosol be used every day?

Helichrysum hydrosol can be incorporated into an everyday skincare routine according to the product directions. As with any skincare product, individual skin responses can vary.

Is Helichrysum hydrosol the same as floral water?

The terms hydrosol and floral water are sometimes used interchangeably, but products sold as floral waters are not always produced in the same way. A true hydrosol is the water obtained during plant distillation containing mild amounts of the plants compounds, so checking the production method and ingredients is important.

Important: Hydrosol is intended for external use. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and perform a patch test when introducing a new skincare product. Stop using if irritation occurs. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, allergy or specific medical concern, seek appropriate professional advice.
