What is Ylang Ylang and why does it work? The name Ylang Ylang means “flower of flowers.” The finest ylang ylang comes from the Philippines because of the heavy rainfall and fertile ground.

Ylang Ylang is personally one of our favorite essential oils, one our owner, Lily,  has used extensively. Ylang Ylang has an anti-frustration, anti-depressant, and aphrodisiac scent and it is because of this and it’s benefits for the skin, that we have put it in our Nourishing Moisture Cream, Balancing Facial Lotion, and our Hydrating Moisture Mist. It has a soothing effect on emotions, especially frustration, and on the skin.
