Ylang-ylang essential oil

Ylang-ylang essential oil (CAS 8006-81-3), also identified under FEMA 3119, is a steam-distilled floral oil extracted from the flowers of Cananga odorata. It delivers a rich, intensely sweet, and floral-narcotic scent profile.

This oil anchors both fine fragrance and functional product formulations across multiple industries. In perfumery and personal care, it functions as a heart-to-base note in fine fragrances, hair oils, and skin serums.

Its floral intensity allows use at low inclusion rates. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into shampoos, conditioners, and scalp treatments targeting hair care positioning for various consumer markets.

In flavored products, it is approved as a flavoring agent under FEMA 3119, appearing in select confectionery, beverage, and baked goods applications where exotic floral notes are required for the profile.

Home care manufacturers use it as a functional fragrance component in premium candles, diffuser blends, and fabric softeners. The oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow mobile liquid for easy handling.

It is commercially available in multiple distillation grades, including Extra, Grade I, II, and III, as well as a complete oil. Each grade offers a distinct aromatic profile suited to different formulation tiers.

Food-grade material conforming to FEMA specifications is available alongside cosmetic-grade supply. This ensures versatility for personal care, fragrance, and specialized food and beverage applications worldwide.
