A Seasonal Treasure!
Chamomile has always been one of my great loves.
The more I work with it, the more it reveals itself.
New layers. New depth. New intelligence.
If you ask me, it deserves to be awarded the oil of
the century! ๐
It is a complex essential oil - delicate to grow, low in yield, and highly dependent on harvest and distillation conditions.๐ผ
True, pure chamomile is not common. And finding food-grade tested, uncompromised chamomile is even rarer.
This season is especially beautiful. The deeper blue hue comes from higher levels of chamazulene - the compound formed during distillation that gives chamomile its powerful powerful soothing and anti-inflammatory nature.๐งโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
More blue. More Magic

I started with threeโฆ then there were fourโฆ and afterwards I realised Iโd completely forgotten the Hyaluronic Rose Jelly ๐น
If the house burned down and I could only take four products, it would be:
the Face Wash first, then the Hypochlorous Solution, one of the Skin Elixirs, and my Hyaluronic Rose Jelly โ which is more an essential for hydrated skin!
Why I love these four for clear skin:
๐งด Face Wash (Salicylic Acid, Franki and Clary Sage) My daily deep cleanse. The mint feels so cooling, and the natural Salicylic Acid gently exfoliates to keep pores clear without stripping the skin.
๐ง Hypochlorous Solution: This is my "magic water." I use for so many things. Especially skin conditions and as a hand sanitiser. It is a naturally occurring antimicrobial our own immune system uses to help keep bacteria in check. It reduces Cutibacterium acnes, the bacteria strongly associated with inflammatory acne. This is well-established and one of the main reasons dermatologists recommend HOCl sprays for acne-prone skin.
๐ Blue Tansynite Squalane. Infused with Blue Tansy and Tansynite, this beautiful blue oil is a powerhouse for reducing redness and inflammation. It locks in moisture while fighting redness.
๐ฟ Be Youth Balancer: Perfect for hormonal skin. Powered by Clary Sage, Frankincense, and Evening Primrose, it balances, repairs and smells divine.
Healthy skin is a journey, not a race. โจ

True rose water is a hydrosol โ gently distilled from fresh rose petals.
Most modern โrose watersโ are simply water mixed with essential oil and alcohol. They smell stronger, but miss the subtle chemistry of the living plant.
Of course at Ylang Leanne we use real rose watter from distilled Rose Damask ๐น

The isiXhosa name for December is iNyanga yeMnga โ the month of the thorn tree, the mimosa (Acacia karroo). ๐ฟ๐
These golden trees colour the Eastern Cape landscape and have been catching my eye this holiday. I once researched mimosa for its scent, symbolism, and gentle effect on the nervous system ๐ผ โ and they became a point of conversation as we drove through the Eastern Cape.
Around the same time, the summer favourite Bernini Mimosa ๐๐ฅ caught my attention. While creating my summer body scrub, I discovered it shares its name with a tree from the same botanical family.
And there we have a beautiful thread of nature connecting it all.๐ซ๐๐๏ธ๐ฅ๐ณ
Enjoy this easy Mimosa Body Scrub โ exfoliating, detoxifying, and uplifting โจ so you can look and feel your best on the beach.
For the most beneficial experience, pair it with Ylang Leanne Orange Essential Oil ๐๐ฟ โ pure, organic, food-grade, and never diluted.

And I almost forgot ginger ๐ซ โ spicy, warming, and gently detoxifying.
May your home be filled with aromatic pleasures โ from your diffuser, from delicious food, and from the warmth of your loved ones.

Most of us know camphor as the green cream our grandmothers rubbed on aching feet. That sharp, unmistakable scent stays with you.๐ฃ
This was my first time seeing camphor trees in real life, and discovering that they once symbolised wealth, science, and global reach.๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
As someone who loves essential oils, Vergelegenโs camphor trees remind me that aromatic plants were once essential infrastructure.
Scent, medicine, trade, and power were deeply intertwined.
What we now call โholisticโ was once simply practical survival knowledge.
Thank you for pointing them out.

One of my skincare secrets is using natural food grade vitamin E ,recognized by its rich golden hue, unlike the clear, synthetic Vitamin E acetate found in commercial skincare. ๐๐ผYes, like the one you find in capsules.๐๐ฐ
Natural Vitamin E offers superior antioxidant benefits, helping protect the skinโs barrier.
It is a potent antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage, Vitamin E supports the skinโs natural healing processes, and gives it a natural glow.
Another secret is using organic pure and tested essential oils, and organic and cold pressed carriers.๐๐งโโ๏ธ

114 million years ago, one morning just after sunrise, the first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive the rays of the sun. Suddenly there was an explosion of colour and fragrant scents all over the planet. Humans would increasingly be drawn to and fascinated by them.
Flowers were most likely the first thing they came to value which had no utilitarian purpose for them, that is to say, was not linked in some way to survival. They provided inspiration to countless artists, poets, and mystics.
Without fully realizing it, flowers would become for us an expression in form of that which is most high, most sacred, and ultimately formless within ourselves. Flowers, more fleeting, more ethereal, and more delicate than the plants out of which they emerged, would become like messengers from another realm, like a bridge between the world of physical forms and the formless. They not only had a scent that was delicate and pleasing to humans, but also brought a fragrance from the realm of spirit - Eckhart Tolle
Ylang Ylang a flower that grows widely in Asia which means โFlowers of Flowersโ. It is one of my favourite flowers, one that I smelled everyday at a farm I stayed at, called โAman Giriโ or โPlace of Peaceโ in Bali.
Ylang Ylang has a strong musky aroma and is associated with sensuality sexuality and beauty.
Named after this flower Ylang Leanne then translates to Flowers of Leanne.
Due to the shortage of high quality, organic, essential oils for use by therapist for treating emotional mental and physical conditions.
Every bottle is personally bottled, labeled and packed. Ylang Leanne also supports local and sustainable farmers.
Why organic?
The botanicals used to produce our certified organic essential oils are grown in soil that is free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and herbicide residues. Aromatherapy is inhaled through the olfactory system (sense of smell) and the molecules are then transferred to the brain and effects the limbic system. Toxins and pesticides are like nerve gas: they attack the brain and nervous system, interfering with nerve signal transmission. Therefore organic essential oils are essential in the practice of aromatherapy and emotional healing.
