Umuthi Cinnamon Bark Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum . It has a strong woody, spicy, sweet aroma and is used in air-freshening blends, surface-cleaning style formulations, natural perfumery, and very carefully managed cosmetic products. This is a powerful essential oil that requires careful dilution and should not be treated like ordinary cinnamon spice. Because bark oils can be especially intense, it is best suited to experienced users and formulators.

♡ Why we love it: Cinnamon Bark adds unmistakable warmth and richness to a blend. It is bold, comforting, and highly aromatic, making it useful when a formulation needs a strong spicy note used with proper care.
