Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

Is all cinnamon in this collection food grade?

Not necessarily. Some cinnamon products may be suitable for food use, while others may be intended for cosmetic or formulation use only. Always check the wording on the individual product page before use.

Can cinnamon be used in DIY skincare and haircare products?

Some cinnamon-based ingredients may be used in DIY topical products, depending on the form and intended use. Always read the product page carefully, especially if you are working with cinnamon essential oil.

Can cinnamon essential oil be used directly on the skin?

Cinnamon essential oil is usually too strong to use directly on the skin and generally needs proper dilution. Always follow the product guidance and patch test where appropriate

Why does cinnamon vary in colour, aroma, or strength?

Natural cinnamon can vary slightly depending on the variety, growing conditions, processing, and whether it is whole, powdered, or distilled. Small differences between batches are normal and do not necessarily mean the product quality has changed.

How should I store cinnamon products?

Store them tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps maintain aroma, freshness, and overall quality.
