Questions

What does Ylang Ylang fragrance oil smell like?

Pure ylang ylang — rich, floral, and softly musky. Heart: ylang ylang. Base: musk.

How much Ylang Ylang fragrance oil do I need for a candle?

Use 5–10% of the candle’s total weight. For a 200g candle that’s 10–20g of Ylang Ylang (about 9–18ml). There is no IFRA limit for candles. The calculator above works it out for any size.

How much Ylang Ylang should I use in wax melts?

Use 5–10% – that’s 5–10g of fragrance oil for every 100g of finished melts. Check the maximum your wax can hold.

Can I use Ylang Ylang in a reed diffuser?

Yes. Use 15–25% Ylang Ylang in a reed diffuser base such as Augeo Clean Multi. The IFRA maximum is 68.88%. Ready-made reed diffuser CLP labels and an SDS are in the documents above.

Can I use Ylang Ylang in soap, lotion or perfume?

  • Soap: yes – 3–6% (IFRA maximum 68.88%)
  • Body lotion: yes – 0.5–1.5% (IFRA maximum 8.85%)
  • Face cream: yes – 0.1–0.5% (IFRA maximum 8.85%)
  • Perfume: yes – 5–20% (IFRA maximum 36.08%)
  • Lip balm: not suitable

Soap, lotion and perfume are cosmetics, so each one needs a safety assessment (CPSR) before you sell it.

Is Ylang Ylang fragrance oil hazardous?

Undiluted, Ylang Ylang is classified under GB CLP with the signal word Warning:

  • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • H361 Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
  • H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Candles, wax melts and diffusers you make with it may need their own CLP label. Full details are in the Safety Data Sheet.

Is Ylang Ylang fragrance oil flammable?

No. Its flash point is >100°C, so it isn’t classified as flammable. Like any fragrance oil, keep it away from naked flames.

Will Ylang Ylang discolour my wax?

It’s unlikely. Ylang Ylang contains no vanillin or ethyl vanillin, the most common cause of discolouration. Always test with your own wax and dyes.

Is there a CLP label for Ylang Ylang?

Yes. Our free CLP label creator makes a ready-to-print label for candles and wax melts made with Ylang Ylang, and for reed diffusers. Safety Data Sheets, IFRA certificates and label files are in the documents above.

Are your fragrance oils vegan?

Yes. All are 100% vegan with no animal-derived ingredients.

Can I use them in electric diffusers or oil burners?

Most can. Where suitable:

  • Electric diffusers – add a few drops to the water, adjusting to taste.
  • Oil burners – mix 50/50 with dipropylene glycol (DPG), or add a few drops to water in the well.

How do I use the 100ml bottles?

They include a blind plug to prevent leaks in transit. Either pierce the centre with a pin or biro to use it as a dropper, or remove the stopper, pour, and replace the plug.
