Escentia Ylang-Ylang (iii) Pure Essential Oil has properties as an antidepressant, antiseborrheic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, nervine and sedative. It can be used to lower blood pressure and is used as an ingredient in the production of soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, also used for its fixative qualities.

Ylang-Ylang is usually distributed across Indonesia, Philippines, Madagascar and Comores. It is a medium sized tropical tree with mauve or yellow flowers. The finer oil is taken from the yellow blooms.

Ylang-Ylang III: After Ylang-Ylang Extra essential oil is collected, the distillation process continues. After a specific period of time, the distillation process is stopped and the resulting oil is then again collected. That oil is then referred to as Ylang-Ylang I essential oil. The process repeats, resulting in Ylang-Ylang II and Ylang-Ylang III. The duration between distillations can vary between distillers. The distillations are generally referred to as fractions and are typically used within fragrance and perfumery applications. 

Ylang-Ylang is typically distilled in fractions. Ylang-Ylang complete oil is the product of the plant that was distilled for the full allotted time, whereas other versions are distilled for a less amount of time. Ylang-Ylang III is usually used in perfumery and cosmetics as it consists of a more floral scent, as opposed to the muskier version that comes with Ylang-Ylang Complete.
