Cassia Oil is a potent essential oil steam-distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia, commonly known as Chinese cinnamon. It carries a strong, spicy, and warm aroma similar to true cinnamon but is more pungent and intense. Its reddish-brown to yellow appearance and high cinnamaldehyde content give it powerful antimicrobial, antifungal, and warming properties. Cassia Oil is used across various industries including food flavoring, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and household products. Due to its strength, it is typically used in diluted concentrations.
