Goes Well With
Cinnamon Bark blends beautifully with sweet and citrus oils such as Orange, Mandarin, and Bergamot. It pairs well with warm, comforting oils including Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger. For grounding blends, combine with Cedarwood, Patchouli, or Sandalwood. It also works wonderfully with Vanilla and Benzoin for rich, cosy aromatic profiles.

Skincare:
Dilute heavily before applying. Cinnamon Bark is a potent oil and should be used sparingly. When properly diluted, it may provide a warming sensation and is sometimes included in seasonal balms or massage blends. Avoid use on very sensitive skin.

Aromatherapy:
Diffuse in small amounts to create a warm, festive, and comforting atmosphere. Its spicy, invigorating aroma is ideal for energising blends or wintertime ambience.

Massage:
Use only in very low dilution due to its natural intensity. When blended correctly with a carrier oil, it may offer a warming, stimulating effect helpful for invigorating tired areas.

Home Fragrance & DIY:
Perfect for candles, potpourri, room sprays, and seasonal diffusions. Its sweet-spicy aroma enhances festive blends, cosy home fragrances, and energising DIY creations.

Tip: Blend with Sweet Orange and Clove for an inviting, classic holiday aroma.

Caution
For external use only. Cinnamon Bark Oil is highly concentrated and may cause skin irritation if used undiluted—always dilute well. Perform a patch test before applying. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from children. Not recommended during pregnancy. Do not ingest.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly sealed to maintain the oil’s rich, warm aroma. Avoid exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations for best longevity and quality.
