What is immortelle?
Immortelle, known as helichrysum, is an aromatic plant native to Mediterranean regions, today widely found on the Atlantic coast, renowned for its bright yellow flowers that never fade, hence its name. This delicate flower is appreciated for its captivating fragrance and its medicinal and cosmetic properties. It is a flower with exceptional properties for the skin, recognized since Antiquity for its regenerating and anti-aging properties.
Benefits for the skin:
- Cellular Regeneration:
Immortelle is known for its ability to stimulate cell regeneration and promote healing of skin tissues. Thanks to its active molecules, such as neryl acetate and italidione, it accelerates cell renewal, thus repairing damage caused by external aggressions and skin aging.
2. Antioxidant:
In addition to its regenerating capacity, immortelle is rich in powerful antioxidants, such as flavonoids and sesquiterpenes, which neutralize the free radicals responsible for premature aging of the skin. By preventing the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and pigment spots, it keeps the skin young, firm and radiant with vitality.
3. Soothing and Radiance:
Immortelle also has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties for the skin. It calms skin irritations, redness and inflammation, while regulating excess sebum and rebalancing the skin's pH. It leaves the skin soothed, hydrated and luminous, with an even complexion.
4. Stimulation of microcirculation
Immortelle is recognized for its ability to stimulate skin microcirculation. Thanks to its vasodilator properties, it promotes the dilation of vessels and thus improves blood flow in the deeper layers of the skin.
This stimulation of microcirculation helps to oxygenate skin tissues, eliminate toxins and promote lymphatic drainage. By revitalizing skin cells, it awakens the skin's natural radiance, giving it a fresh and luminous complexion. In addition, by promoting the elimination of metabolic waste, it helps reduce signs of fatigue and stress, leaving the skin revitalized and energized.
5. Collagen production
Immortelle is known for its ability to stimulate the production of collagen, an essential protein for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Thanks to its active compounds, such as flavonoids and terpenes, it works deeply to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, thus strengthening the skin's support structure.
By promoting the regeneration of collagen fibers, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving the tone and density of the epidermis. This stimulation of collagen production is essential for maintaining the youth and vitality of the skin, leaving it smooth, firm and visibly younger.
6. Firming effect
By promoting cellular regeneration, it helps to restructure skin tissues, leaving them denser and more toned. This firming effect is particularly beneficial for mature and sagging skin, as well as for areas prone to sagging skin such as the contour of the face and neck. By revitalizing the skin from the inside, it restores all of its firmness and youthfulness to the epidermis, for a visibly firmer and more dynamic complexion.
