Cinnamon Oil

80%

Cinnamon Oil is a natural essential oil distilled from cinnamon. It is renowned for its unique, warm, and spicy aroma and typically appears as a yellow to yellowish-brown liquid. It serves as a staple fragrance and flavouring agent in a wide array of products.

Its primary constituent is cinnamaldehyde, which provides Cinnamon Oil with its excellent antiseptic and aromatic properties. Thanks to these characteristics, it finds extensive use across the flavour, fragrance, personal care, and fine chemical industries. Beyond being a key flavour base, it is a crucial raw material for synthesizing various organic chemicals, such as cinnamyl alcohol.

It is important to note that Cinnamon Oil can be irritating and should be used with caution and at low concentrations in skin care or personal care applications.

#Note Please note that while ‘Cassia’ is often used as a synonym for cinnamon oil in some general contexts, our company is able to supply various species of cinnamon oil, including C.zeylanicum, C.verum, C.cassia, C.burmannii, C.loureiroi, and C.cassia Presl.

Should you have specific requirements for a particular cinnamon variety, please contact our sales department so that we can provide the most suitable product for your needs.
