Ylang Ylang Essential Oil (Cananga Odorata)
Ylang ylang essential oil comes from the cananga odorata (ylang ylang) tree mainly found in some Asian and South Pacific Islands, and has a wide range of health and beauty benefits. With its antiseptic, antidepressant, hypotensive, aphrodasiac and sedative properties, ylang ylang has been used in anything from beauty products to teas and is a favorite among aromatherapists. It's known to lift the mood by relaxing the body and mind, and for its anti-inflammatory properties, healing such conditions as seborrhoeic eczema. It regulates sebum (oil) production in the skin, which also makes it ideal as an acne treatment. Ylang ylang oil is an effective moisturizer that keeps skin hydrated, smooth and youthful-looking.
