What Cinnamon Bark Oil is & what it does
Cinnamon Bark Oil is an aromatic essential oil steam-distilled from the bark of the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum), rich in cinnamaldehyde. In cosmetics it is used mainly as a fragrance and aromatic agent, and is also valued for a warm, spicy scent. Because cinnamaldehyde and related constituents are known potential skin sensitizers, it is typically used at very low concentrations. It is most often found in scented or warming formulations.
