Polyphenols

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)

Polyphenols are a class of chemical compounds that are rich in natural antioxidants and are abundantly present in many types of plants, especially fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Among these plants is the Cananga scented, scientifically called Cananga odorata var. genuina. This plant is considered one of the richest sources of polyphenols. Thanks to their strong antioxidant effect, these substances play a key role in the prevention of a number of diseases.

Kananga fragrance is also known for its distinctive and penetrating floral scent, which is often used in perfumery. The extract of this plant, also known as Ylang-ylang oil, is one of the main ingredients in many luxury perfumes. Likewise, this oil is used in aromatherapy for its supposed relaxing and aphrodisiac effects. Due to its properties and benefits, Kananga fragrance and its derivatives have become an important part of many cosmetic and body care products. In addition, polyphenols derived from Cananga odorata var. genuina are also used in the food industry, as additives in chocolate and some wines for their potential health benefits and to enhance the taste and aroma of these products.
