Cinnamon Leaf.
Steam-distilled from cinnamon leaves in Madagascar by a skilled distiller: light and vibrant, smelling like cinnamon and clove together, far livelier than the muddy leaf oils we long refused.

About this product
Cinnamon and clove at once, warm and bright, like the spice tin opened on a winter afternoon. For years we would not stock cinnamon leaf oil, because every sample smelled muddy and lifeless. This one, from a dedicated and highly skilled distiller, is different: light, vibrant and full of life.
It is Cinnamomum zeylanicum, organically produced and steam-distilled from the leaves in Madagascar. Where cinnamon bark oil is high in cinnamaldehyde, the leaf is highest in eugenol, the same compound found in clove, which is why it smells like the two blended. It is far less sensitizing than our cinnamon bark oil, though still an irritant, and some say it stirs creativity.
Details
- Botanical name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum
- Origin: Madagascar, organically produced
- Method: steam-distilled from the leaves
- Main component: eugenol
- Shelf life: about 3 to 4 years after opening
How to use
Diffuse it for a warm, spiced room, and use it on skin only highly diluted, since it is a skin irritant and possible sensitizer. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding and with children under five, and do not use it if you take blood thinners. Store it dark and refrigerated.
The bright side of cinnamon, for the darker months.
