Ylang-ylang Essential Oil is extracted from Cananga odorata – also known as flower of flowers. It is a tall tropical tree about 20meters (60 feet) high with large, tender, fragrant pink, mauve or yellow flowers. The yellow heads are viewed as being the best in terms of quality. There are several grades of Ylang-ylang essential oil which are extracted at different times during the flower's lengthy distillation. These grades are referred to as extra, I, II, & III.
Ylang Ylang oil is steam distilled from the flowers of the tree. And means “flower of flower” among other things. It has been used customarily for promoting thick beautiful hair as well as smooth skin.
Ylang Ylang Oil has been used to balance male and female energies so one can achieve a state of harmony.
