Ylang Ylang (Complete) Essential Oil (Cananga odorata var. genuina)

Certified Organic Ylang Ylang Complete Oil from Madagascar – Full Spectrum

Certified organic essential oil. The rich, intensely floral scent of ylang ylang oil is exotic, sweet, and sensual. Known for its relaxing and soothing properties, it helps calm the mind, heart, and body.

When added to massage oils, ylang ylang helps relax muscles that may have stored tension over the years, and opens the heart to deep healing and blissful peace. Ylang ylang oil is very intense—usually just one or two drops are enough (too much can become overwhelming).

Sustainably sourced, ylang ylang essential oil is steam distilled from trees growing in the forests of Madagascar.

What does "Complete" mean in the context of ylang ylang?

Ylang ylang oil is obtained by steam distillation and this process can be stopped at different stages, resulting in different fractions of the oil:

1. Ylang Ylang Extra – the first, most delicate fraction, rich in volatile compounds, used mainly in perfumes
2. Ylang Ylang I, II, III – subsequent stages of distillation that produce an oil with an increasingly heavier, more woody and less volatile character
3. Ylang Ylang Complete – oil obtained from full, uninterrupted distillation, combining all fractions in one composition

When is the term "Complete" used?

• In aromatherapy, when the full spectrum of the oil's properties is important, not just its light or heavy version
• In cosmetics and care products, where both volatile floral notes and deeper, more earthy tones are important
