Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) leaf oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the true cinnamon tree, native to Sri Lanka, offering a warmer, spicier aroma compared to the sweeter bark oil. Cinnamon has been used medicinally across South Asia, China, and the Middle East for thousands of years, appearing in ancient Egyptian texts as a prized ingredient in embalming and medicine. Cinnamon leaf essential oil is rich in eugenol, a powerful antimicrobial and analgesic compound, as well as cinnamaldehyde. It is widely used today in natural pain relief blends, antimicrobial household cleaners, dental care formulations, warming massage oils, and as an antifungal and antibacterial essential oil.
