INCI: Cinnamomum zeylanicum leaf oil

Essentially Natural Cinnamon Leaf Pure Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Its aroma is warm, spicy, and clove-like, which makes it popular in wintery diffuser blends and natural home scenting. It is a potent essential oil that should be used at low levels, especially in leave-on body products. Cinnamon leaf oil is typically chosen for aroma and blend-building rather than for direct skin use.

A: It can be used in products at very low, well-formulated levels, but it is not a beginner-friendly oil for leave-on skin products due to irritation risk.

Q: Is it suitable for diffusing?
A: Yes, it is commonly used in diffusers, use a small amount because the aroma is strong.
