Ylang Ylang generally has no safety considerations.

My top uses for Ylang Ylang essential oil

Indulgent body oil blend
Mix 40ml of grapeseed oil with 5ml of peach kernel oil and 5ml of wheatgerm oil.
Add 6 drops each of Ylang Ylang and jasmine and 7 drops of rose essential oil.
Store in a dark glass bottle and massage the blend into your body or add a little to a warm bath.
Safety note: this blend should not be used during pregnancy.

Balancing face mask for oily skin
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of rhassoul clay (available online)
with enough grapeseed or sweet almond oil to make a thin paste.
Add 1 drop of Ylang Ylang essential oil and mix well.
Apply the mask to your face and neck (avoiding the delicate eye area),
leave for 10-15 minutes then remove.

Uplifting PMS blend
Add 1 drop of Ylang Ylang and 2 drops each of neroli and clary sage essential oils to an oil burner
or dab onto a tissue.
Inhale as needed to boost the mood and promote relaxation.
Safety note – avoid consuming alcohol when using this blend as clary sage can exaggerate the effects of the
alcohol.
