Description

Ylang Ylang is derived from steam distillation of the flower of a tree, which grows in the Philippines, Java, Sumatra and Madagascar. Some of its chemical components are methyl benzoate, methyl salicilate, eugenol and geraniol. It can vary in colour from colourless to a pale yellow.

Ylang Ylang’s most important property is its ability to potentially slow down rapid breathing and rapid heart rates. It is among the oils that may have the ability to help reduce high blood pressure. In skincare, it is a suitable oil for both dry and oily skins, as it might have a balancing action on the skin’s secretion of sebum.

Ylang Ylang is also known to be an antidepressant, aphrodisiac and sedative. It is important to note that too much of this oil can cause nausea, and/or headaches.

This oil blends well with Bergamot essential oil, Lavender essential oil, Lemon essential oil, Neroli essential oil, Palmarosa essential oil, Sandalwood essential oil and Vetivert essential oil.
