Cinnamon Leaf Oil
Cinnamon leaf oil is obtained by steam distillation of leaves from Ceylon cinnamon plant. Oil is lighter in colour and mostly happens to be brownish-yellow. Euginol is the main chemical ingredient in cinnamon leaf oil. It carries a musky and spicy aroma along with a light-yellow tinge that differentiates it from the red-brown colour of the cinnamon bark oil.
Application of cinnamon leaf oil mixed with a carrier oil is used to relieve muscle aches. A maximum dilution of 0.6% is recommended for topical applications. Diluted cinnamon leaf oil is also a popular insect repellent.
CAUTION:
Do not use undiluted on skin, on broken skin or on abrasions. Discontinue use if skin sensitivity occurs. Do not use internally, unless directed by a qualified medical practitioner. If pregnant, breastfeeding or under a doctor’s care, please consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
