CANANGA

Cananga essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers of the cananga tree.

Aromatically, Cananga has a warm, sweet, flowery, and woody scent.

Cananga and Ylang Ylang essential oil come from the same species of tree. Cananga is the macrophylla variety of Cananga odorata, while Ylang Ylang comes from the genuine variety of Cananga ordorata. The primary difference in the essential oil of the two varieties is that Cananga has higher amounts of the chemical constituent Beta-caryophyllene. Beta-caryophyllene supports healthy cellular function,* and is especially soothing to the skin. It also supports healthy nervous and immune function.* Cananga essential oil is calming and can help reduce feelings of anxiousness or stress. It helps naturally improve mood and promote feelings of balance and peace.

Top Uses

Always follow recommended dilution when applying.

• Add a few drops to a warm bath with Epsom salts.

Sourcing Information​

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Cananga from Madagascar. Each batch of essential oils goes through over 60 tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name. Some of those tests are:

• Organoleptic testing
• Microbial testing
• Gas chromatography
• Mass spectrometry
• Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
• Chirality testing
• Isotopic analysis
• Heavy metal testing

You can access the GC/MS reports of each batch of dōTERRA essential oils. These tests are done by an independent third-party lab. Your unique Quality ID is located on the bottom of your bottle. Enter that ID at sourcetoyou.com to access the reports.
