Description
Ylang Ylang Complete Essential Oil (Cananga odorata) distilled flower oil
Our Ylang Ylang Complete Essential Oil is a very feminine oil and generally has more admirers among women than men.
Steam distilled from a tall tropical tree with large fragrant yellow flowers. These flowers are traditionally spread on the beds of newly-weds in Indonesia.
It also has a long history in hair care – The hair preparation, macassar oil, popular in Victorian times, contained Ylang ylang oil.
Ylang ylang has a pale yellow colour and a slightly viscous consistency.
Ylang Ylang has a calming soothing and balancing action making it useful for stress and tension. It can also balance hormones and skin conditions.
Use Ylang Ylang in a diffuser for an exotic atmosphere or use topically in massage oil or skin care preparations.
The essential oil also has a very long distillation time. Distilled in fractions, including “extra” (the first part and often considered the best for its aroma), 1st grade, 2nd grade and 3rd grade with decreasing quality as you move down the grades. Essence of Wellbeing Ylang Ylang Complete Essential Oil is a combination of all of the grades to give a balanced and true representation of the whole oil.
