Ylang ylang oil has been highly sought after for centuries for its numerous skin and health benefits and it has been gaining more popularity in the past couple of years. In fact, Pinterest has seen 91% increase in searches for "ylang ylang essential oil benefits" since in the past year.

Ylang ylang oil is derived from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, which is native to  tropical Asia such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and is well known for its ability to stimulate a natural glow. This exotic oil is known to possess a romantic, sweet floral scent and perhaps that is the reason behind the name, as ylang ylang means “flower of flowers”.

Here are some of the wonderful benefits of this floral oil:
