Bellis Perennis Flower/Helichrysum Italicum Extract

Bellis Perennis Flower/Helichrysum Italicum Extract is a combination of two plant-derived ingredients. Bellis perennis (common daisy) and Helichrysum italicum (Italian immortelle) are both flowering plants traditionally used in herbal preparations. When extracted, these plants yield compounds that function as skin conditioning agents in cosmetic formulations.In skincare, this ingredient works primarily to condition and soften the skin's surface, helping to maintain moisture and improve the overall feel and texture of the skin barrier.

Both Bellis perennis and Helichrysum italicum contain polyphenols and flavonoids — naturally occurring compounds with antioxidant properties. When applied to skin, these compounds can help protect against oxidative stress and support the skin's natural defence mechanisms.The extract also functions as an emollient and humectant, meaning it helps to coat the skin surface and draw moisture into the outer layers, contributing to improved hydration and a smoother appearance.

This ingredient is typically incorporated into serums, moisturisers, and toners. As with most botanical extracts, consistency of use over several weeks is more likely to show benefits than sporadic application. There is no requirement to introduce it gradually; it can be used daily as part of your routine, though results are usually subtle and cumulative.

Generally well-tolerated by most skin types. Those with known sensitivity to plants in the Asteraceae family (daisy family) should exercise caution, as both Bellis perennis and Helichrysum belong to this family.
