Botanical origin
Cinnamomum cassia
Cinnamon bark has been traded as a medicinal botanical since at least 2700 BCE, valued across Egyptian, Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions for its warming, circulatory and antimicrobial properties. Cold maceration of Cinnamomum cassia bark in high-quality corn oil extracts its full spectrum of bioactive compounds — cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid and eugenol — preserving their activity in a lipid vehicle that delivers them to the skin more effectively than water-based formulations. The result is a concentrated warming botanical oil with genuine antioxidant, circulatory and antimicrobial properties, captured without the high temperatures that degrade the most sensitive active compounds.

Cinnamomum cassia bark — one of the oldest traded spices in human history, used in traditional medicine across Asia and the Middle East for millennia

Science
Active compounds
Cinnamaldehyde
Antimicrobial & WarmingThe primary bioactive compound in cinnamon bark, responsible for its characteristic aroma and documented antimicrobial activity. Cinnamaldehyde inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi on the skin surface and contributes to the warming circulatory effect when applied with massage.
Cinnamic Acid
Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatoryA hydroxycinnamic acid with documented antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory activity. Protects skin cells against oxidative stress and contributes to a calmer, more balanced skin appearance with consistent use.
Eugenol
Antiseptic & AnalgesicA phenylpropanoid found in cinnamon bark with documented antiseptic and mild analgesic properties. Contributes to the overall antimicrobial profile and the comforting warming sensation during body massage application.
Vitamin E & Linoleic Acid (from corn oil base)
Antioxidant BaseThe corn oil base contributes vitamin E — a potent antioxidant — alongside linoleic acid and oleic acid. Corn oil's balanced fatty acid profile provides a stable, nourishing lipid vehicle for the cinnamon actives, supporting the skin's barrier function and ensuring the bioactive compounds remain stable and bioavailable throughout use.
Application
How to use
01
Dilute before use
Cinnamon oil is potent — always blend with a carrier oil before application. Mix 5–8 drops into 2 tablespoons of Sweet Almond or Coconut oil for a warming body massage blend.
02
Warming body massage
Apply the blend and massage into areas needing warmth or circulation support — limbs, shoulders, back, tense muscles. The warming sensation builds gradually during application.
03
Scalp stimulation (weekly)
For scalp use: mix 3–5 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil, massage gently into the scalp for 3–5 minutes, leave 20–30 minutes, then shampoo. Use 1–2 times per week.
Ritual combinations
Pairs well with
Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond is the ideal carrier for cinnamon oil — its hypoallergenic, light texture dilutes the warming concentrate to a skin-safe level while adding its own nourishing vitamin E and oleic acid profile.
View oil →Ginger Oil
Cinnamon and ginger create a powerful warming synergy for post-activity massage or cold-day body rituals. Both activate TRPV1 receptor pathways, producing a layered therapeutic warmth without irritation.
View oil →Coconut Oil
Coconut oil's conditioning lauric acid base makes it an excellent carrier for scalp applications of cinnamon oil — the antimicrobial properties of both oils complement each other, supporting a balanced, healthy scalp environment.

Frequently asked
Cinnamon oil should always be diluted in a carrier oil before skin application — it is a concentrated botanical extract that can cause irritation when used neat. A safe dilution is 5–8 drops per 30 ml of carrier oil for body use, or 1 drop per 5 ml for facial use.
Cinnamon macerated oil is primarily used for warming body massage and scalp stimulation. Its cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid content supports local circulation, has documented antimicrobial activity, and provides antioxidant protection. It is not a primary facial oil but can be used sparingly as a blemish-prone spot treatment, heavily diluted.
Yes — when diluted. Cinnamon oil's circulatory-stimulating properties can support scalp vitality and a refreshed scalp feel. Mix 3–5 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil, massage into the scalp for 3–5 minutes, leave for 20–30 minutes, then shampoo thoroughly.
The warming sensation is normal and expected during massage. For body use, there is no need to rinse — the oil absorbs into the skin during and after massage. For scalp use, wash after 20–30 minutes. If any burning persists, rinse immediately.
