Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang, botanically known as Cananga odorata, is a fast-growing tree native to tropical Asia. They can reach up to 60 feet in height and have long, glossy, dark green leaves. The fragrant flowers these trees produce vary in color from pale pink to yellow and have a delicate, sweet aroma that makes it a popular addition to many perfumes and natural products.
Ylang Ylang Essential Oil has many uses in natural products, including perfumes, soaps, and skin care products. It is known for its soothing and relaxing properties and is often used to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Additionally, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is used as an aphrodisiac and has been shown to improve mood and energy levels.
Cultivation
Ylang Ylang is commercially cultivated in tropical regions, including Madagascar. The trees grow well in well-drained soil with good air circulation and plenty of sunshine. The trees require constant care and attention, including pruning, to maintain healthy growth and a good yield. Malagassi Essential Oils has a strong commitment to sustainable farming practices, which include environmental stewardship and fair trade practices with local farmers. In addition, their commitment to minimizing the use of fossil fuels means that these oils will grow in an environment untouched by pollutants for as long as possible!
Harvesting and Processing
The flowers of Ylang Ylang are picked early in the morning when the fragrance is at its peak. The flowers are then transported to the distillery for steam distillation. In the distillation process, the flowers are placed in a large chamber and exposed to steam, which extracts the essential oil from the flowers. The resulting oil is then collected and separated from the water, producing pure Ylang Ylang Essential Oil.
Conclusion
From the tropical island of Madagascar, Malagassi Essential Oils carefully cultivates and processes Ylang Ylang to produce pure and high-quality essential oil. With its sweet, floral fragrance and soothing properties, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is an excellent addition to any natural product enthusiast's collection.
