Description
Cinnamon essential oil is a rich, spicy, and intensely warming oil known for its potent antimicrobial properties, circulatory stimulation, and emotionally comforting effects. Steam distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum verum (also known as True or Ceylon Cinnamon), this oil has a deep, sweet-spicy aroma that is both invigorating and grounding. A little goes a long way with this powerful essential oil.
⚠️ Note: Cinnamon Bark oil is a “hot” oil—always dilute very well and avoid use on sensitive or broken skin.
