Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
(Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Cinnamon Bark essential oil’s warm and comforting aroma exudes a familiar scent from the naturally occurring constituent cinnamaldehyde. It plays an integral role in our proprietary, top-selling Thieves® essential oil blend, where it is combined with Clove, Lemon, and other essential oils for a signature aroma. There’s no doubt that Cinnamon Bark is a favourite during the winter seasons, as its sweet and spicy scent evokes memories of the holidays. For a festive note, diffuse Cinnamon Bark with Frankincense, Orange, Tangerine, Clove, or Nutmeg. Cinnamon Bark can also be applied topically if diluted properly to avoid skin irritation.

Today, Cinnamon Bark plays a key role in Young Living’s popular Thieves® essential oil blend, and it is also found in Abundance™, Gathering™, Highest Potential™, and Magnify Your Purpose™.

FAQs
FAQs
Q. Does cinnamon essential oil serve the same function as the powdered form?
A. Products in powdered form and oil form have no similarities, so they would not necessarily serve the same function.

A. It takes approximately 223 - 250 grams of cinnamon bark material to produce one 5 ml bottle of essential oil.
Q. Is your Cinnamon Bark essential oil distilled from Cassia or Ceylon?
