Opening a bottle of Cinnamon Bark essential oil<\/a> might be the best form of time travel we know. The warm aroma immediately transports you<\/span><\/strong> to a night sipping hot cider by the light of a bonfire or a bright Christmas morning, eating a cinnamon roll fresh from the oven.<\/p>\n

We all have our own history that\u2019s stirred up by the sweet scent of cinnamon, but this sought-after spice has an interesting story of its own\u2014as well as uses that go far beyond baked goods!\"Cinnamon<\/a><\/p>\n

1. It comes from a tree.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just in case the \u201cbark\u201d part of the name didn\u2019t give it away, all cinnamon\u2014not just our oil\u2014comes from the bark of a tree! Cinnamon trees are in the genus Cinnamomum<\/em>. Our Cinnamon Bark oil comes from Cinnamomun zeylanicum<\/em>, a tropical evergreen native to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

2. And it\u2019s different from the cinnamon in your spice rack.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s where Cinnamon Bark essential oil differs from the cinnamon sticks in your cider or ground cinnamon in your french toast. Cinnamon Bark oil is distilled from the outer bark of the cinnamon tree.<\/span> <\/strong>The cinnamon you buy in the spice section at the grocery store is made from the inner bark, which is harvested in rolls and then dried out.<\/p>\n
