Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil - A floral scent for your DIY skincare products

Discover Ylang-Ylang essential oil, an ideal ingredient for adding a touch of floral fragrance to your homemade soaps, solid shampoos or other handmade cosmetics.

Use in cold saponification

Its suave, exotic floral fragrance makes it a refined choice for soap creations. For a more stable olfactory balance over time, it can be combined with other oils such as Niaouli, Lavender or Mandarin.

Practical tips:

• Recommended dosage: Up to 3% of the total weight of the oils used.
• Recommended dosage for Melt and Pour soap bases: 10 drops per 100 gr.
• Fragrance longevity: Adding white clay (5%) to the soap base can help prolong fragrance and improve texture.
• Ease of use: This oil does not affect the setting speed of the soap paste.

Application in solid shampoos and home care products

Ylang-Ylang essential oil is often chosen to enrich DIY hair formulations. In solid shampoos, it retains its full fragrance and integrates easily with bases such as Melt and Pour or SCI.

Typical dosage: about 20 drops for a 100 g soap.
