Organic cinnamon bark oil is steam distilled from the dried bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum. With properties of both a middle and base note, warm and spicy cinnamon bark essential oil is great in aromatherapy blends with other oils such as nutmeg, mandarin, rose, or clove.

Cinnamon has been a highly prized commodity since antiquity and is one of the most recognizable scents in the world. Cinnamaldehyde is the main constituent in the bark oil. It is used in perfumery to give a blend lift and strength, and is considered a mild fixative. Use this oil with caution in soap making, because it may darken the color of your product.

Precautions
This oil may interact with certain drugs, it may inhibit blood clotting, cause skin sensitization, mucous membrane irritation, and is potentially embryotoxic. Exercise extreme caution for topical use. Never use essential oils undiluted, in eyes or mucus membranes. Do not take internally unless working with a qualified and expert practitioner. Keep away from children.

Before using topically, perform a small patch test on your inner forearm or back by applying a small quantity of diluted essential oil and apply a bandage. Wash the area if you experience any irritation. If no irritation occurs after 48 hours it is safe to use on your skin.
