As frankincense is the King of Essential Oils, ylang-ylang is the Queen.
Ylang-ylang oil is extracted from the flowers of a flowering tree native to Indonesia. The plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and aromatherapy because it is believed that the scent can promote feelings of happiness and love.
This sweet-smelling essential oil has many benefits, from promoting relaxation, reducing stress levels, boosting libido, and alleviating depression. It also helps stimulate hair growth as well as skin cell production, which promotes healthy-looking skin.
No wonder this exotic flower has been revered by so many cultures over time!
Ylang-ylang essential oil has been approved to be generally recognized as safe by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and is widely used as a flavoring agent.
It blends well with essential oils derived from bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, and sandalwood.
