A nourishing oil that improves the complexion and texture of the skin
Where is it from?
Ylang-ylang oil is extracted from the Cananga odorata tree, which is native to South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia. The tree produces small, yellow flowers that are incredibly fragrant. When the flowers are steam-distilled, the resulting oil is a potent source of scent that has long been used in perfumes and aromatherapy.
