Predominantly balancing in nature, this oil comes from the strikingly beautiful exotic yellow flowers of the tropical Cananga tree. Being naturally versatile, its sensual, uniquely tropical, floral aroma appeals to both men and women.
Its moisturising properties make this essential oil ideal to use in skincare formulations, leaving the skin hydrated and soft, especially when applied to dry and oily skin. Simply add a few drops of Ylang Ylang to a carrier oil or to your cream or lotion and apply it to your skin.
With its balancing effect and emollient properties Ylang Ylang is beneficial for those with oily skin and can leave your skin feeling smoother and visibly revitalised.
Popular in aromatherapy, this oil is said to have a calming yet uplifting scent. It was traditionally used as an aphrodisiac. Used in a bath oil, it makes an effective relaxing and aromatic soak or steam bath, leaving you feeling soothed.
Certified cruelty free and vegan friendly.
Dilution
Dilute at a percentage of 1% of the finished blend, typically 20 drops or 1ml of essential oil to 100ml of carrier oil. Do not use undiluted on the skin. You can use up to 3% dilution for use on your body or in the bath. Consult your doctor or midwife before using during pregnancy.
Massage
Blend with our Almond Sweet Oil (#215) and Lavender Essential Oil (#102) for a soothing, aromatic massage.
Aromatherapy
Add a few drops to your diffuser or oil burner and immerse yourself in the soothing and sensual nature of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil.
Haircare
Try simply blending a few drops of Ylang Ylang with a carrier oil, for a simple hair mask. We love Jojoba (#233), Avocado (#231) or Coconut Oil (#203). Massage your mask into your scalp and lengths of your hair, be sure to work it into the ends, cover hair and leave for up to an hour, rinse and wash as normal.
Skincare
To discover the benefits for yourself, try simply blending with a carrier oil of your choice and use as a facial night serum. For the skin, we love Cacay Oil (#205).
In the bath
Combine a few drops of Ylang Ylang with one of our carrier oils and add to your bath for a wonderful, aromatic spa experience at home, leaving you smelling beautiful and your skin feeling silky smooth.
