Cinnamon Bark Oil 15ml

Warm, Spiced Comfort for a Beautiful Home

Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil is the true cinnamon of Sri Lanka and southern India. It is steam distilled from the dried inner bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree. The oil is rich and reddish brown, with a sweet, spicy warmth you will recognise instantly. One of the most potent oils you can own, it brings depth to cleaning blends, diffuser recipes and homemade scents. A few drops go a long way.

What is Cinnamon Bark?

Cinnamon Bark oil comes from the same tree as the cinnamon quills in your pantry. The bark is dried, then steam distilled to capture its aromatic compounds. It is naturally high in cinnamaldehyde, which gives cinnamon its signature scent, and eugenol, the warm, clove-like note also found in clove oil.

It is not the same as Cassia, a cheaper, harsher relative often sold as "cinnamon". Nor is it Cinnamon Leaf oil, which is distilled from the leaves and smells closer to clove.
