What is ylang-ylang oil used in cosmetology?

Ylang-ylang oil (cananga oil, macassar) is an essential oil extracted from the flowers of the macassar oil tree, which is also called fragrant cananga. The flowers are purple, pink, light green, but the most valuable are yellow, from which the highest quality essential oil is obtained. The color of ylang-ylang essential oil is from pale yellow to orange, the smell is strong, sweet with fruity-caramel notes.

Where does ylang ylang oil for cosmetics come from?

Macassar tree grows in the Seychelles, Philippines, Mauritius, Tahiti and other islands of the Indonesian region. The name "ylang-ylang", by which we know Macassar tree oil, in translation from the Malaysian dialect means "flower of flowers". The inhabitants of the tropical islands have long used ylang-ylang oil for hair care, after them European women fell in love with hair products with miraculous Macassar oil, and the British introduced napkins for headrests of chairs, called "antimacassars".

The essential oil of ylang-ylang makes up one third of the entire export of the Comoros; ylang-ylang oil supplied from the Philippine Islands is considered to be of high quality, although it is produced in many states of the Pacific island region.

Ylang-ylang oil is obtained by steam distillation. The oil of the first distillation is considered to be the highest quality, it is customary to call it “ylang-ylang” oil, it has a rather strong smell, a bit reminiscent of jasmine. The oil of the second and subsequent distillations is called "kananga", it has the same properties as ylang-ylang oil, but is devoid of fragrant aroma.

I will say right away that this is my first experience of using mass-market cosmetics, before that I used luxury and professional. One day it all ended at once: a wash, peeling (everything from Estee Lauder, blue series), serum, cream (Idealists), but there was no money. At all. And it so happened that I saw this series in the store, read the composition and immediately remembered the program where they said that domestic cosmetics are often no worse, and sometimes better than well-known European brands. And I decided to take a chance - the price of funds was cheap. And that's what happened

1. Mask - film for the face from black dots Ylang - Ylang Secrets Lan (100 g.)

Description: Mask - film for the face from black dots stimulates natural regeneration, provides the skin with the necessary nutrients, suitable for combination and oily skin.

From me: It is applied in a thin layer and after drying it is torn off from the face along with top layer dead skin cells. It is no different from most similar masks, but it does its job - the skin after it is smooth and fresh. However, there are no less black dots from it.

Price: 90r.

Grade: 4

2. Moisturizing mattifying face cream Ylang - Ylang Secrets Lan (50 g.)

Description: thanks to natural ingredients in the composition softens, moisturizes and mattifies the skin, due to the normalization of the sebaceous glands, eliminates greasy shine, prevents inflammation, relieves redness and irritation.

From me: there is no cream, but if we talk about its positive qualities, it is well absorbed, does not leave a feeling of presence on the skin, and most importantly, it does not differ at all from, for example, the same Hydrationist from Estee Lauder and this is perhaps its main plus. The effect of matting is not observed as well as the removal of redness, but how a budget option"whatever it was" he is quite suitable.

Price: 125 rub.

Grade: 4

3. Soft face peeling Ylang - Ylang Secrets Lan (100 g)

Description: thanks to the natural plant components in the composition, it removes the keratinized layer of the skin without damaging it, improves the relief, delicately cleanses the pores, eliminates black spots, improves skin regeneration and restores its elasticity and natural color. Ingredients: herbal cleansing components, ylang-ylang, tea tree extracts , sage, fruit acids, active exfoliators.

From me: this tool turned out to be the cheapest, but the most effective of the entire series - it was it that subsequently made all the previous acquisitions. There is something to compare with - for a long time I used Estee Lauder's Idealist Dual Action Treatment peeling until I realized that it was as good as the cheap Garnier sauna mask with blue clay. So peeling Secrets Lan really worked! I apply a few plentiful strokes on the forehead and cheeks and begin to slowly smear it all over the face, it does not give a feeling of warmth, only a slight tingling, which intensifies by the end of the procedure. The gel slowly rolls into unpleasant dirty flakes, and when there is nothing left to smear, I wash my face.

For the first time using this tool, I realized WHAT real peeling (albeit homemade) means. The skin is perfectly smooth and even, black dots are at least half less. A complete feeling of freshness and breath of the skin, which lasts for more than one day. But it must be borne in mind that the product is really vigorous - it may not be suitable for sensitive skin, and it can really burn the skin for special sissies.
