Cinnamon Pure 15mL

Cinnamomum zeylancium is derived from the leaves of the plant.  It has a potent, peppery, spicy aroma which is not as strong as the oil extracted from the bark.  Oil from both sources is classified as a mid note and is extracted via steam distillation.  The bark oil is much more expensive as the yield is much lower than the leaves.  Cinnamon oil has a wide range of therapeutic uses due to its stimulating, carminative and antiviral properties.  It blends well with warm citrus aromas such as sweet orange and lemon.  Due to the presence of cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamon may cause allergic reactions if you are hypersensitive to this ingredient.  Avoid using when pregnant or lactating.
