Immortelle, also known as Helichryse Italienne, is a plant native primarily to Corsica, celebrated for its potent healing and anti-inflammatory properties. When blended with shea butter, it forms an exceptional balm ideal for soothing sunburns, minor burns, irritations, closed wounds, itching, razor burn, and dry skin areas.
One 50g jar of shea butter
60 drops of Immortelle essential oil
A pestle and mortar
Using the pestle and mortar, "crush" the shea butter and essential oil together—the traditional method—to perfectly emulsify the two textures. Variation: Opt for "Milotica," a softer shea butter that mixes easily with just a spoon.
Shelf life: 6 months.
