ORGANIC YLANG-YLANG HYDROLAT PRESERVED

Organic Ylang-Ylang Hydrolat in Bulk

Organic ylang-ylang hydrolat is the aqueous by-product of steam-distilling Cananga odorata flowers, offering a soft floral scent and calming properties for the skin. This technical guide covers its origin, cosmetic characteristics and the most common formulation uses for laboratories and manufacturers seeking a certified organic natural ingredient available in bulk for professional use.

What is organic ylang-ylang hydrolat?

Organic ylang-ylang hydrolat is obtained by steam distillation of Cananga odorata flowers grown under certified organic farming, the same process that yields the essential oil but collecting the aromatic water phase instead of the oily fraction. It retains trace water-soluble plant compounds responsible for its characteristic floral scent and its gentleness on skin.

This profile makes it particularly suited to cosmetic formulations requiring a calming, balancing, low-sensitisation ingredient, with toning properties traditionally associated with floral hydrolats. Proper preservation allows stable incorporation into aqueous formulas without relying on synthetic fragrances.

Main cosmetic uses of organic ylang-ylang hydrolat

Facial toner. Used pure or blended as a toning base for sensitive or unbalanced skin, leaving a fresh, non-greasy finish after cleansing.

Aqueous phase in emulsions. Replaces demineralised water fully or partially in creams and lotions, adding natural scent and cosmetic function without extra fragrance additives.

Mists and body sprays. Its soft floral note makes it an ideal ingredient for lightweight facial and body mists formulated without alcohol.

Masks and gels. Provides an active aqueous base in clay masks or calming gels, reinforcing the sensory and balancing effect of the finished product.
