Cinnamyl Alcohol

Cinnamyl Alcohol is an organic compound that is found in esterified form in storax, or cinnamon leaves. It forms a white crystalline solid when pure, or a yellow oil when even slightly impure.

It can be produced by the hydrolysis of storax.

Cinnamyl Alcohol is used in cosmetics as a fragrance or flavoring agent.
