At least 78% of the phenols in cinnamon leaf oils are organic aromatic chemicals with a range of antiseptic, antibacterial, antioxidant, and healing anesthetic activities Additionally, the bark and leaves of the plant are used to make cinnamon oil. Compared to the musky-scented, paler-colored cinnamon leaf oil, cinnamon bark oil has a stronger aroma and greater potency. Leaf oil is a more affordable and lightweight alternative to bark oil, which is highly refined and fairly expensive.

  • Due to its benefits, cinnamon oil is frequently used in at-home aromatherapy treatments. In aromatherapy, essential oils are sprayed or diffused into the air to allow for skin absorption or inhalation. Numerous advantages of aromatherapy have been demonstrated, including improved sleep and decreased anxiety and depressive symptoms.
  • Due to its antibacterial qualities, cinnamon bark oil can be used as an alternative to chemical additives that are safe, efficient, and extend the shelf life of products. According to one study, cinnamon oil can be utilized as a preservative in cosmetics, toiletries, and disinfectants for medical facilities.

Additionally, it is used to scent candles, room sprays, and seasonal decorations like pine cones and garlands.
