How to Use Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is suitable for external aromatic use where a rich floral note is desired.

Diffusion
Add a small number of drops to water in a diffuser to create a soft, floral atmosphere. Because the aroma is strong, lower amounts are often sufficient.

Topical Use
Always dilute Ylang Ylang Essential Oil with a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin. A typical dilution rate is 1 to 2%, which is around 1 to 2 drops per 10 ml of carrier oil. Carry out a patch test before use.

Massage
Blend with a carrier oil at an appropriate dilution and use in massage blends intended to feel calming and indulgent.

Bathing
Add a small amount of properly diluted oil to warm bath water for a deeply aromatic, relaxing experience.

How to Dilute Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

For general use, a 1 to 2% dilution is recommended. This equals approximately 6 to 12 drops of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil per 30 ml of carrier oil.
For sensitive skin, reduce to a 0.5 to 1% dilution. Always carry out a patch test before wider application.
