What Is Ylang Ylang?

Derived from the Cananga tree, Ylang-Ylang (pronounced EE-lang EE-lang) has a long and storied history. Native to countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, the flower was once reserved for Indonesian royalty, as it was used as a love charm; the aroma believed to have dispelled fear and promoted self-confidence. Today, Ylang-Ylang is used in a variety of ways, from perfumes to essential oils.

Ylang-Ylang In India

India is home to a plethora of spices and herbs, each with their own rich history and cultural significance. Among these is Ylang-Ylang, a spice with historical significance in India with a long tradition of use in traditional Indian medicine.

Ylang-Ylang has a sweet, floral aroma and a slightly bitter taste. It is used in a variety of Indian dishes, both sweet and savoury. In addition to its culinary uses, Ylang-Ylang is also said to have numerous health benefits. Some of these purported benefits include aiding in digestion, relieving anxiety, and even helping to lower blood pressure.

How Is Ylang-Ylang Used In Skincare?

Ylang-Ylang is an amazing Indian skincare ingredient that has so many benefits for the skin! Not only does it help to reduce inflammation and redness, but it can also help to balance oil production and soothe acne-prone skin. When it comes to skincare, Indians know a thing or two about using natural ingredients. And Ylang-Ylang is no exception. This fragrant flower has been used in Indian skincare for centuries, thanks to its ability to soothe and nourish the skin.

Why Is Ylang Ylang So Expensive?

Ylang-Ylang oil is one of the most expensive essential oils due to its rarity and the lengthy process required to extract the oil from the flowers. The process of extracting the oil from the flower is very labour-intensive. It takes about 120 flowers to produce just one drop of oil! That’s why you’ll often see products that contain “synthetic” Ylang-Ylang oil – it’s cheaper to produce and still has that signature scent.

Here’s where you don’t need to worry. At Saabuni, we only use pure Ylang-Ylang oil in our products to give you the best results. So, whether you’re looking for a soap that’ll give you an overall glow and tone, or just for some simple oil control, Saabuni is where you should be looking!

You just might find that it’s the natural remedy you’ve been looking for.
