Cinnamon Essential Oil

Q: What does Cinnamon Essential Oil smell like, and how is it sourced?
A: It’s warm, spicy, and sweet with woody undertones. The oil is steam-distilled from the bark or leaves of *Cinnamomum verum*, delivering a cozy, invigorating aroma perfect for festive and comforting blends.

Q: Is it safe for skin, and how should I dilute it?
A: Yes—when heavily diluted. Cinnamon is a “hot” oil and can irritate skin. For body oils, use about 0.05–0.3% (1–3 drops per 30 ml/1 oz carrier). Avoid the face, broken skin, and sensitive areas. Always patch test and use externally only.

Q: What’s the difference between cinnamon bark and cinnamon leaf oils?
A: Bark oil is sweeter, richer, and typically more irritating (“hotter”) on skin; leaf oil is spicier-herbal and generally a bit gentler. Both require low dilutions—choose leaf for skin blends, bark for diffuser/candle aroma.

Q: How do I use it in a diffuser, candles, or soaps?
A: Diffuser: start with 1–3 drops per 100 ml of water and increase slowly. For candles/soaps, follow your base supplier’s limits and test small batches—cinnamon is potent and can dominate blends.

Q: Are there precautions or who should avoid it?
A: Do not ingest. Avoid use during pregnancy, nursing, on infants/young children, or if you have highly sensitive skin. People with anticoagulant therapy or skin conditions should consult a professional. Keep away from eyes/mucous membranes, and discontinue if irritation occurs. It blends beautifully with orange, clove, vanilla, and cedarwood for a warm, uplifting finish.
