What Is Golden Everlasting?

Xerochrysum bracteatum, also known as Strawflower or Golden Everlasting, is a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, native to eastern Australia. It is distinguished by its ability to retain its color and shape after drying. Beyond its ornamental value, Golden Everlasting has been used in traditional medicine and is attracting research interest for its bioactive plant compounds [1].

Studies have shown that Golden Everlasting is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids - two important groups of antioxidants that contribute to biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects, as well as protecting cells against free radical damage [1][2].

Beyond its practical applications, Golden Everlasting symbolizes resilience and longevity. Its ability to preserve its beauty over time has associated it with eternity, gratitude, and lasting affection. For this reason, Golden Everlasting is often chosen as a gift for special occasions and serves as inspiration for naturally derived cosmetic and wellness applications.

Key Benefits of Golden Everlasting Extract

Antioxidant activity: Exhibits strong free radical-scavenging activity, helping protect cells against oxidation and damage at the cellular level [1].

Anti-inflammatory activity: Inhibits the production of NO, the expression of COX-2, and inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, with particular effectiveness against UVB-induced inflammation [3].

Protection against UV-induced skin damage: May act directly on the mechanisms involved in photoaging, helping the skin resist damage and slowing UV-induced aging [3].
