I started with three… then there were four… and afterwards I realised I’d completely forgotten the Hyaluronic Rose Jelly 🌹
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 — which is more an essential for hydrated skin!
Why I love these four for clear skin:
🧴 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.
💧 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.
💙 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.
🌿 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. ✨

True rose water is a hydrosol — gently distilled from fresh rose petals.
Most modern “rose waters” 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 🌹

The isiXhosa name for December is iNyanga yeMnga — the month of the thorn tree, the mimosa (Acacia karroo). 🌿🏖
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 🌼 — and they became a point of conversation as we drove through the Eastern Cape.
Around the same time, the summer favourite Bernini Mimosa 🍊🥂 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.💫🍊🏖️🥂🌳
Enjoy this easy Mimosa Body Scrub — exfoliating, detoxifying, and uplifting ✨ so you can look and feel your best on the beach.
For the most beneficial experience, pair it with Ylang Leanne Orange Essential Oil 🍊🌿 — pure, organic, food-grade, and never diluted.

And I almost forgot ginger 🫚 — spicy, warming, and gently detoxifying.
May your home be filled with aromatic pleasures — 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.👣
This was my first time seeing camphor trees in real life, and discovering that they once symbolised wealth, science, and global reach.🌳🌳🌳🌳
As someone who loves essential oils, Vergelegen’s camphor trees remind me that aromatic plants were once essential infrastructure.
Scent, medicine, trade, and power were deeply intertwined.
What we now call “holistic” was once simply practical survival knowledge.
Thank you for pointing them out.

🌸Input = Output🌸
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. 👀🌼Yes, like the one you find in capsules.👌💰
Natural Vitamin E offers superior antioxidant benefits, helping protect the skin’s barrier.
It is a potent antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage, Vitamin E supports the skin’s 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.😍🧖♀️

Even registered aromatherapists don’t know this…😮
Essential oils aren’t regulated, and the industry has zero uniform standards — which is why an estimated 87% of oils are adulterated, diluted, or completely synthetic.
You can often spot this just by reading the label.👀🔎
Some companies list “limonene” or “linalool.” At least that’s transparent — and it does make oils more affordable and widely available. (These can still be organic and "pure".)
But for me? I want the real deal when working with plants as a healing modality. 🌱
Many companies don’t list anything at all.
Some offer fully synthetic fragrances without a single clue on the label.
And honestly… what do we expect if the bottle costs R30–R40? 💰
Sadly, these are the ones I see most often in aromatherapists’ rooms. 🥲
As a therapist, I’ve seen how real, plant-specific oils perform. Wildcrafted and organic where possible; food-grade when applicable — and in my core range, each oil is tested for purity.
I’m deeply passionate about natural medicine and keeping aromatherapy rooted in its true herbal origins. If you feel the same, you’re in the right place. 🌿👃

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 “Flowers of Flowers”. It is one of my favourite flowers, one that I smelled everyday at a farm I stayed at, called ‘Aman Giri’ or “Place of Peace” 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.
