Ylang ylang:
Cananga odorata (Lam.)
Why ylang ylang? In Malayan, ylang ylang means “flower of flowers.” With its fruity, floral, and sweet aroma, ylang ylang essential oil is cleansing and can create an uplifting atmosphere. It is wonderful when added to soaps or the bath for radiant skin, and the fragrance inspires joy.
Quality Assured: Our organic ylang ylang essential oil is responsibly sourced from Madagascar. The essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and produced without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
