FAQ — Cinnamon Essential Oil (Cinnamomum spp.) (manufacturer)

First, our Cinnamon essential oil is 100% pure and natural. Two varieties are used in perfumery and cosmetics: cinnamon bark oil (inner bark) and cinnamon leaf oil (leaves/twigs). Moreover, bark oil is rich in cinnamaldehyde with a hot spicy punch, while leaf oil is eugenol-rich with a softer, clove-like warmth. Consequently, when properly diluted, cinnamon leaf oil suits rinse-off cleansers and low-dose aromatic blends; bark oil is generally reserved for very low-level fragrance use due to high dermal irritancy. Finally, explore the full range in the Essential Oils collection or contact our team.

What makes Cinnamon oil special?

In short, it delivers a cozy, gourmand spice profile that enhances citrus, vanilla, balsams and woods. In addition, micro-doses bring comforting warmth to winter room sprays and festive rinse-off products. Therefore, it shines in seasonal gels, deodorising kitchen sprays and limited-edition private-label lines.

How to use it — dilution & applications (step by step)

1. First, always dilute before skin use. For leaf oil in rinse-off products: ≈0.02–0.2%. Leave-on products require very low traces or avoidance.
2. Next, bark oil is a stronger irritant/sensitiser; reserve for minimal fragrance levels only.
3. Then, perform a 24-hour patch test on the inner forearm prior to first use.
4. Afterwards, for diffusion/room care, use 1–2 drops in a well-ventilated space and avoid continuous exposure.
5. Finally, keep total fragrance load low in sprays/surface cleaners; shake before use.
6. Optionally, round with orange/vanilla or anchor with cedarwood/patchouli for depth.

Additionally, start at the lowest effective level and increase gradually if needed. Alternatively, favour rinse-off formats for first trials.

1) Is it natural? What is the INCI/botanical source?

Yes, steam-distilled essential oils from Cinnamomum verum/C. zeylanicum (Sri-Lanka type) or C. cassia are used; typical INCI: Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil (leaf) or Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Oil (bark). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

2) Bark vs. leaf — which one for cosmetics?

Guidance: bark oil (cinnamaldehyde-rich) is the stronger dermal irritant/sensitiser; leaf oil (eugenol-rich) is gentler but still potent — both require low dilutions and thoughtful formulation, especially for leave-on use. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

3) Typical constituents and aroma profile?

Leaf oil: eugenol, eugenyl acetate, traces of cinnamaldehyde/benzyl benzoate. Bark oil: cinnamaldehyde dominant with hot, sweet spice. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

4) Shelf life, storage, and safety

• Shelf life: typically 24 months unopened; 12 months after opening.
