Questions
Short answers for procurement and regulatory teams.
What is cinnamon leaf oil used for?
In fragrance, soap and personal care formulations as a spicy, clove-like note, in oral care and flavour applications, and as a natural source of eugenol.
What is the difference between cinnamon bark oil and cinnamon leaf oil?
Both come from Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Bark oil is distilled from the bark and is rich in cinnamaldehyde, with a sweet, warm cinnamon odour. Leaf oil is distilled from the leaves and is rich in eugenol, with a clove-like odour. Bark oil is the more valuable of the two.
Is this true cinnamon or cassia?
True cinnamon. The oil is distilled only from Cinnamomum zeylanicum grown in Sri Lanka, not from cassia (Cinnamomum cassia). True cinnamon is naturally low in coumarin, and its composition profile is clearly distinguishable from cassia oil by GC-MS analysis.
Is this Ceylon cinnamon oil?
It is distilled from Cinnamomum zeylanicum grown in Sri Lanka, the species known as Ceylon cinnamon. In the European Union, “Ceylon Cinnamon” is a protected geographical indication (PGI); Ceylion Corp will supply its oils under the PGI mark once certification is complete, before the first commercial shipment.
Can I get a sample and a laboratory report?
Yes. Small laboratory samples are available on request, together with the independent laboratory report for the lot. Email shaveen@ceylioncorp.com.
