Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Ylang Ylang varieties?
The numbers (#1, #2, #3) refer to different fractions collected during the distillation process. Ylang Ylang #1 is generally considered the most refined with the finest floral aroma, while #3 is less intense, making it suitable for applications where a subtler scent is desired. Check out our Blog for more information. 
How should I store my essential oil?
To preserve the oil's potency and aroma, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation. This is especially important for larger, bulk quantities to maintain freshness over time.
Is this oil safe to use directly on skin?
No. You should never apply undiluted Ylang Ylang Essential Oil directly to the skin. Always dilute it with a carrier oil like jojoba, coconut or almond oil to a concentration of 1–2 % before topical application to minimize the risk of skin irritation.
