Whatsapp Order

Cinnamon Leaf Oil is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum or Cinnamomum verum tree. It has a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet aroma, distinct from cinnamon bark oil, with high levels of eugenol. This oil is prized for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. It is widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy, personal care, and natural medicine.

Used traditionally for respiratory relief, oral health, and topical analgesia, cinnamon leaf oil is now integrated into natural formulations for skincare, oral hygiene, massage, and household cleaning products. Its invigorating scent and therapeutic versatility make it valuable across cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and cleaning industries.
