Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
INCI Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil
Overview
A warm, spicy essential oil distilled from cinnamon leaves, gentler than the bark oil from the same tree.
What it is
Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil is distilled from the leaves of the cinnamon tree. It carries a warm, spicy character similar to cinnamon bark oil, though generally milder.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Cinnamon trees are grown widely across South and Southeast Asia, particularly Sri Lanka. The leaves are steam-distilled to draw out their essential oil.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes a warm, spicy note to a finished product’s scent profile.
Why Lovebee uses it
Cinnamon leaf gives us that same cozy spice character as the bark oil, just in a gentler register — it’s an easier ingredient to build a warm, comforting blend around.
Good to know
- Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.
Common questions
- What does Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil smell like?
Warm and spicy, similar to cinnamon bark oil but generally milder.
- Is Cinnamon Leaf the same as Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil?
No — they come from different parts of the same tree, with leaf oil being the gentler of the two.
- Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?
Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
