Description

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil (Cananga odorata)

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is a beautifully fragrant floral essential oil with an unmistakably rich, sweet and exotic aroma. Steam distilled from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, it is a favourite ingredient for perfumery, personal care, soap making, hair care and aromatic formulations.

Its full-bodied floral character has impressive presence, even at relatively low inclusion levels. For formulators, Ylang Ylang is particularly useful for bringing warmth, depth and a luxurious floral note to a fragrance blend, pairing beautifully with citrus, woody, earthy and other floral essential oils.

Why Formulators Choose It

Ylang Ylang is valued for its distinctive fragrance and its ability to add complexity to essential oil blends. Its intensely floral sweetness can soften bright citrus notes, round out woody fragrances and add richness to more delicate floral combinations.

Because the aroma is naturally powerful and persistent, it is generally used with a little restraint – making it an economical choice when creating sophisticated natural fragrance profiles.

Cosmetic Applications

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is well suited to personal care formulations where a rich natural floral fragrance is desired. It can be incorporated into soaps, lotions, creams, body oils, bath products and hair care formulations, as well as natural perfumes and fragrance blends.

Its strong aromatic character makes it particularly useful as part of a more complex essential oil blend, where relatively small amounts can contribute considerable floral depth.

Suggested Usage Guidance

Use at an appropriate level for the intended finished product and application. Ylang Ylang has a powerful aroma, so lower inclusion levels may be sufficient when it is used as part of an essential oil blend.

When developing cosmetic or personal care products, always consider the complete formulation and applicable IFRA guidance when determining the final inclusion level.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the container tightly sealed. Good storage practices will help minimise oxidation and preserve the characteristic aroma of the essential oil.

Safety & Formulation Notes

For external use only. Essential oils are concentrated aromatic ingredients and should be appropriately diluted before application to the skin. Always refer to current IFRA Standards and relevant safety information when formulating finished products, and conduct appropriate compatibility and stability testing.
