Ceylon cinnamon, steam distilled

This oil comes from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. The leaves and twigs are used, then steam distilled to capture the aromatic oil. Cinnamon leaf oil is generally lighter in character than cinnamon bark oil, which is darker and stronger in scent.

How to use it at home

Add to an oil burner or diffuser according to the appliance instructions. For topical use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first. Avoid use during pregnancy or with children unless guided by a qualified professional, and keep essential oils away from pets.

Cinnamon in spice history

Cinnamon has travelled through trade routes for centuries, prized between India, China and Egypt long before its botanical source was widely understood in Europe. Older writers, including Herodotus, repeated stories of cinnamon coming from mysterious lands, sometimes gathered by great birds for their nests. Today, Ceylon cinnamon is closely linked with Sri Lanka, where this oil is sourced. Its place in the home is simpler now: a warm, familiar scent that turns a room towards comfort, depth and quiet ritual.

Common questions

Is cinnamon leaf oil the same as cinnamon bark oil?
No. Cinnamon leaf oil comes from the leaves and twigs, while cinnamon bark oil comes from the bark. Leaf oil is generally gentler and lighter in aromatic character than bark oil.

Can I apply it directly to skin?
No. Essential oils should be diluted in a suitable carrier oil before topical use, and a patch test is sensible before wider use.

Does it blend with other essential oils?
Yes, cinnamon leaf is often paired with other warm, woody or citrus oils. Keep blends light, as its spiced character can quickly become dominant.
