Cinnamon is a well-known spice that is widely used not only for culinary purposes but also for therapeutic purposes and as traditional and herbal medicine. This essential oil comes from a small evergreen tree called Cinnamomum Zeylanicum. The bark of the tree is steam distilled to obtain the oil, a process that takes time and labor.

This organic oil has a strong, distinctive, very warm and spicy-sweet aroma, reminiscent of the well-known smell of cinnamon spice. It is characterized by a high concentration of cinnamaldehyde, which makes this oil quite strong, so it requires a lower dilution rate for topical application. Cinnamon oil is known to have antioxidant properties, which makes it beneficial for premature skin aging.

The essential oil is often used in a diffuser to purify the air and support immunity during the winter months. Widely used in aromatherapy, the warm, intense aroma energizes the senses and inspires creativity.
