Description
Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil (Cinnamomum verum / Cinnamomum zeylanicum, CAS: 8015-91-6) is a 100% pure, highly concentrated botanical extract obtained through steam distillation of fresh leaves from the cinnamon tree native to Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Unlike cinnamon bark oil—which is dominant in cinnamaldehyde—cinnamon leaf oil is exceptionally rich in eugenol ($70\% – 85\%$). This distinct chemical profile yields a warm, spicy, and woody-clove aroma that is less harsh on skin while retaining powerful antimicrobial, antioxidant, and aromatherapeutic properties.
In the global chemical and fragrance markets, it is distributed under trade names such as Cinnamon Leaf Oil Ceylon, Eugenol-Rich Cinnamon Oil, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil, and commercial essential oil lines from producers like Berjé, Robertet, and Biolandes.
