Umuthi Helichrysum Cape Gold Pure Essential Oil - 5ML

Umuthi Helichrysum (Cape Gold) Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the flowers of Helichrysum splendidum . It has a pungent, herbaceous aroma with earthy notes and is used in aromatherapy, skincare formulations, massage blends, and natural perfumery. This is a concentrated essential oil and should be diluted before topical use.

Its middle-note profile makes it useful when a blend needs a distinctive herbal character rather than a soft floral or bright citrus note. Why we love it: Cape Gold is a distinctive local helichrysum oil with a strong botanical character. It brings depth and personality to blends, especially where a more herbaceous, earthy aromatic profile is wanted.
