Cananga essential oil comes from Indonesia from the plant Cananga odorata var macrophylla. This is the identical species of plant from which Ylang Ylang oil is distilled and they have a very similar scent, but it is a different genus (Cananga odorata var macrophylla). The difference is that Cananga comes from Indonesia and Ylang Ylang from Madagascar. The local climate and growing conditions have a significant influence on the final fragrance. Its scent is sweet with subtle woody undertones, less floral than Ylang-Ylang and is often used as its cheaper alternative.
Despite being derived from the same species of plant, the two oils have different chemical compositions and therapeutic effects. Cananga is used to deal with oily skin and hair problems, after insect bites, or to relieve tension and stress.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
Essential oils, or essential oils, are natural aromatic substances that come from different parts of plants - stems, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic scent and also have medicinal and protective properties. They have a very positive effect on symptoms on a physical, emotional or mental level.
Their chemical composition is quite complicated. Essential oils are most often obtained from plants by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin only after dilution with carrier plant oils (almond, apricot, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree and lavender essential oils, which can be applied directly.
Use essential oils for inhalation or in your beauty products, we do not recommend consuming any essential oils of any brands.
Essential oils are fat soluble, so if you want to use them in products without oils and butters, use a solvent /solubilizer/.
HOW DO I USE ESSENTIAL OIL?
Cosmetic and soap making - the amount of essential oil needed depends on the specific recipe and the quantity being made.
Inhalation, steaming - drip a few drops of essential oil into an aromatherapy bottle, diffuser, or container of hot water.
Bath - mix drops of oil in a base oil /coconut, olive.../, in 1 dcl of milk or in a spoonful of honey, pour this mixture into the bath. The essential oils themselves are insoluble in water, the drops would float on the surface.
Massage - add a few drops of essential oil to cold pressed vegetable oil (approx 50 ml) and mix well. Pleasant massage.
Sauna - choose from conifer, rosemary, eucalyptus, sage, mint or citrus scents. The amount of drops depends on the size of the sauna and your taste.
Essential oils are also popularly used in skin care, topical compresses, hair masks, oral care...
