• Maximum topical dilution: 0.6% — one of the lowest limits among common essential oils
• High eugenol content (68–87%) can cause skin irritation, burning, and sensitization at higher concentrations
• Can irritate mucous membranes — keep away from eyes, nose, and mouth
• Do not apply undiluted under any circumstances
• Avoid use on the face, broken skin, and sensitive areas
• Non-phototoxic — no UV restrictions after topical use

• Blood clotting: Eugenol may inhibit blood clotting. Consult a healthcare provider before use if taking anticoagulant medications (e.g., warfarin, heparin) or antiplatelet medications (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel)
• Surgery: Discontinue use at least 2 weeks before scheduled surgery due to potential blood-thinning effects
• Pregnancy: Consult a healthcare provider before use
• Consult a healthcare provider if you have any bleeding disorder or liver condition

• For external use only — do not ingest
• Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin (0.6% max)
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Wear gloves when handling undiluted oil or concentrated cleaning sprays
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs

• Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed
• Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight
• The dark amber glass bottle protects against UV degradation
• Expected shelf life: 3–5 years when stored properly
• Tip: write the date you opened the bottle on the label so you can track freshness

• Eye contact: Flush immediately with carrier oil, then rinse with clean water. Eugenol near the eyes is extremely painful — seek medical attention if irritation persists
• Skin irritation/burning: Apply carrier oil generously to dilute (do not use water alone — it can spread the oil), then wash with soap and water
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention
• Allergic reaction: Discontinue use. Seek emergency attention if swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe rash develops

Yes. Our cinnamon leaf essential oil is 100% pure, certified organic Cinnamomum verum from Sri Lanka. It contains no synthetic additives, fillers, fragrance oils, or carrier oils. It is steam-distilled from cinnamon leaves and hand-bottled at our US facility.

Cinnamon leaf has a warm, spicy, musky aroma — more clove-like than cinnamon bark, with a sweet, herbaceous depth. This is because cinnamon leaf is primarily eugenol (68–87%), the same compound found in clove oil, while cinnamon bark is primarily cinnamaldehyde, which gives the sharp, fiery "cinnamon" scent most people recognize.

Cinnamon leaf oil is distilled from the leaves and is primarily eugenol (68–87%), giving it a warm, clove-like character. Cinnamon bark oil is distilled from the bark and is primarily cinnamaldehyde (45–65%), giving it the sharp, sweet, fiery "cinnamon" scent. Both require very careful dilution, but leaf oil is generally considered the gentler of the two and more versatile for aromatherapy blending.

Cinnamon leaf's high eugenol content (68–87%) can cause skin irritation, burning, and sensitization at concentrations above 0.6%. This is one of the lowest topical limits among common essential oils. For this reason, cinnamon leaf is primarily used for diffusing and natural cleaning rather than topical skin applications. If applying to skin, never exceed 1–2 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil.

Yes. Eugenol may inhibit blood clotting. If you take anticoagulant medications (such as warfarin or heparin) or antiplatelet medications (such as aspirin or clopidogrel), consult your healthcare provider before using cinnamon leaf oil, even in a diffuser. Discontinue use at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery.

No. Cinnamon leaf oil is non-phototoxic, meaning you do not need to avoid sunlight after the very limited topical application. However, the 0.6% topical limit applies regardless of UV exposure.

We do not recommend using cinnamon leaf oil in bath soaks. The high eugenol content can irritate skin, and water does not adequately dilute essential oils. If you want warm, spicy aromatherapy in the bath, diffuse cinnamon leaf nearby instead, and use gentler oils like Lavender or Sweet Orange in the bath itself.

Due to the very low topical limit and potential for skin irritation, we do not recommend topical use of cinnamon leaf oil on children. If diffusing around children, use minimal amounts (1 drop) in a well-ventilated space and observe for any sensitivity. Always consult a pediatrician before using essential oils around children.

Cats are particularly sensitive to essential oils, including eugenol-rich oils like cinnamon leaf. Do not apply to pets. If diffusing, ensure the area is well-ventilated with an exit route for animals. Consult your veterinarian before using any essential oil around pets.

Approximately 300 drops, using the standard euro dropper cap included with each bottle. Since cinnamon leaf is used in very small amounts (1–3 drops at a time), a single bottle lasts a very long time.

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Cinnamon leaf has a shelf life of 3–5 years when stored properly. Refrigeration is not required but won't harm the oil.

No. Our essential oils are formulated, tested, and labeled for external use only. Essential oils are extremely concentrated — cinnamon leaf oil is not the same as culinary cinnamon. For cooking, use whole cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon instead.

Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is the ancestral home of true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). Sri Lankan cinnamon is considered the gold standard — distinct from and superior to cassia cinnamon (C. cassia) from China or Indonesia. The leaf oil from true cinnamon has a more refined, complex aroma profile with its characteristic warm, clove-like eugenol character.
