Helichrysum Bracteiferum Essential Oil
Helichrysum bracteiferum
Helichrysum bracteiferum is steam distilled from the flowers of a shrub in the Asteraceae family. Ours is wildcrafted in Madagascar. The aroma is fresh and herbaceous with a camphoraceous edge, and it sits between a middle and a base note in a blend, adding both warmth and staying power.
The chemistry leads with the oxide 1,8-cineole, typically 22-32% in our batches. That's the component people reach for when they want support for respiratory comfort and clear, easy breathing. β-pinene follows at roughly 9-13%. Then the sesquiterpenes step in: α-caryophyllene (humulene), around 7-10% where we see it, is associated with immune support, and β-caryophyllene brings the anti-inflammatory character this family is known for.
Every batch is independently GC-MS tested, and each batch's full report lives right here on this page.

Batch HEB-110 comes from Madagascar, where Helichrysum bracteiferum grows wild in its native habitat. The aerial parts are carefully harvested by hand and steam distilled, capturing the plant's distinctive fresh, camphoraceous aroma with layers of green, woody, and softly balsamic notes. This batch was distilled in September 2026 and reflects the beautiful aromatic complexity of this Madagascar helichrysum. Its fresh, penetrating opening gradually gives way to a deeper, earthy character. As with every essential oil we offer, batch HEB-110 has been independently GC-MS tested to identify its natural chemical components. The complete GC-MS report and Certificate of Analysis are available to download, giving you a closer look at the chemistry of the oil in your bottle.
Chemistry highlights
Batch HEB-110 reveals an interesting balance of fresh, aromatic brightness and rich, woody depth. GC-MS analysis identified 93 individual components, reflecting the natural complexity of *Helichrysum bracteiferum*. The most abundant component is 1,8-cineole at 27.33%, contributing the oil's fresh, camphoraceous character. Beta-pinene follows at 10.13%, adding to its crisp, green aromatic quality. Although 1,8-cineole is the leading individual component, sesquiterpenes are the largest chemical family at 34.4%. These compounds help create the oil's deeper, woody, and balsamic character. Two notable sesquiterpenes are alpha-caryophyllene at 8% and beta-caryophyllene at 5.95%. Oxides account for 28.81% of the oil, primarily from 1,8-cineole, while monoterpenes contribute another 24.72%. Looking across our previous batches of this species, 1,8-cineole has ranged from 21.8% to 31.51%, placing HEB-110 comfortably within that range. Smaller components, including linalool at 0.82% and caryophyllene oxide at 0.49%, add further detail to this batch's distinctive chemical fingerprint. Together, these components create an oil with a bright, refreshing opening and a beautifully layered, woody foundation.
