Ylang-ylang flower oil is produced through steam distillation. The process involves harvesting the ylang-ylang flowers, which are then subjected to high-pressure steam. This steam carries the volatile oil components of the ylang-ylang flowers, separating them from the plant matter. This aromatic steam is then cooled, causing the oil to condense and separate from the water. Its balancing properties help regulate sebum production, making it suitable for both oily and dry skin types. Known for its calming and soothing effects, it can help reduce inflammation and redness associated with skin conditions like eczema and acne. Rich in antioxidants, ylang-ylang oil helps combat free radical damage, contributing to a more youthful complexion. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties can help combat acne-causing bacteria and prevent breakouts. The oil's ability to promote relaxation can indirectly benefit the skin by reducing stress-related skin issues.
