Question 1

What is the difference between Cinnamomum zeylanicum oil from the leaves and from the bark?

Accepted Answer

Both oils come from the same plant, Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), but from different parts. The leaf oil is rich in eugenol and has a warmer, spicy-softer character. The bark oil is rich in cinnamaldehyde, with a more intense, distinctly cinnamon-like aroma and a much higher risk of skin irritation.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml cinnamon essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Cinnamomum zeylanicum oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can cinnamon essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Cinnamon essential oil (leaf type) has skin-irritation potential and must NOT be applied directly to the skin. In skin preparations, it is diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at no more than 0.5-1% concentration. For sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
