KOBASHI CANANGA OIL 100%

LATIN NAME: Cananga odorata var. macrophylla
SOURCE: Steam distilled from the flowers
We are working with many farmers that cultivate the plants free from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. They are using organically grown fertiliser instead of chemical fertiliser.

COLOUR: pale clear yellow
ORIGIN: Indonesia, Java
AROMA: sweet, exotic, light floral with a creamy note.

QUALITIES: Cananga is a tall, tropical tree which produces flowers almost identical to those of ylang ylang. In fact, the two plants produce such similar essential oil, that some suppliers sell Cananga as Ylang ylang.

Ylang ylang essential oil is a more intensely floral oil than Cananga. Those that find the heady aroma of Ylang ylang essential oil too much may prefer the slightly greener, gentler sweet floral aroma of Cananga.

Traditionally Cananga essential oil has been used for insect bites, skin care, anxiety, depression, and stress, and to treat infectious diseases, such as malaria.

In Ayurveda medicine Cananga oil is used to encourage healthy hair growth, preventing split ends and for moisturizing dry and itchy scalp, thus preventing dandruff and other scalp conditions.


History reveals that Alexander Rowland (1747-1823), a celebrated London barber used Cananga oil in the formulation of his famous Macassar oil which became hugely popular among Victorian and Edwardian men for conditioning and styling hair. Due to the tendency for the oil to transfer from the user's hair to the back of his chair, the antimacassar was developed. This is a small cloth, placed over the back of a chair to protect the upholstery.
