Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil
Our Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, a botanical member of the Laurel family native to Sri Lanka and India. This premium essential oil offers the warm, sweet, earthy, and spicy aroma associated with cinnamon, while providing a softer profile than cinnamon bark oil.
Because it is naturally lighter and generally less irritating than bark oil, Cinnamon Leaf Oil is a preferred option for aromatherapy, diffuser blends, massage formulas, soaps, candles, and everyday aromatic use.
Oil Summary: Organic Cinnamon leaf oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, part of the Laurel botanical family. Native to Sri Lanka and India, oil derived from the leaves has a high level of phenols, as opposed to oils distilled from the bark, which are higher in aldehydes. Organic Cinnamon leaf oil is lighter weight and much less expensive than cinnamon bark oil, and is less of a skin irritant, which makes it more popular for everyday use. Its scent is warm, earthy, musky, sweet and spicy with a medium middle fragrance note. The oil itself is a clear, light yellow liquid with a thin consistency. Its chemical constituents include eugenol, cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol acetate, linalool, and benzyl benzoate, and cinnamaldehyde to a lesser degree. The latter ingredient is what gives it its distinct aroma and flavor, but is more present in the bark than in the leaves.
Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil is:
- Steam distilled from cinnamon leaves
- Clear to pale yellow in color
- Thin consistency
- Strong middle to base fragrance note
- Warm, musky, herbal, resinous aroma
This oil works beautifully in blends with orange, clove, vanilla, cedarwood, ginger, frankincense, and nutmeg.
Aroma Profile
Customers often describe the scent as:
- Warm
- Sweet
- Dry
- Camphorous
- Herbal
- Resinous
- Earthy
- Spicy
If cinnamon bark oil is loud and dramatic, cinnamon leaf oil is smoother and easier to live with.
Why Choose Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil?
Unlike bark-derived cinnamon oil, leaf oil contains a different chemical balance, including higher phenol content such as eugenol, while bark oil is typically higher in aldehydes.
This gives Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil a more rounded aromatic character and makes it especially popular for users seeking warmth and spice without the sharper edge of bark oil.
Benefits:
- Warm sweet spicy aroma
- Excellent for diffuser blends
- Popular in soap and candle making
- More economical than bark oil
- Lighter consistency
- Great blending oil for seasonal recipes

Contraindication: Though considered less of an irritant than cinnamon bark oil, you should still use caution when using topically. Heed all recommended dilution factors and test on a small, insensitive area of the skin before applying liberally. Avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, and keep out of reach of children. It should be noted that cinnamon leaf oil is not the same as the spice in your pantry, and is not recommended for internal use due to its high phenol content. Excessive quantities may be toxic: internal use should only be undertaken while under the care of a qualified practitioner who is certified in aromatherapy with essential oils. Do not use if you are pregnant as it may cause uterine spasms.
