Cinnamon: Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Blume)
Why cinnamon? The aroma of cinnamon will transport you to a crisp autumn afternoon, the orange and yellow leaves falling to the ground as the cozy aroma of holiday spices waft toward you from the kitchen. A wonderful herbal spice, cinnamon is a warming essential oil. This is the perfect oil for autumn or the Holidays, with a peppery and slightly woody fragrance. Try blending it in homemade soaps!
Quality Assured: Our cinnamon essential oil is organically grown and steam distilled in Sri Lanka from the inner bark of cinnamon tree shoots.

Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
