Essential oil from the bark vs leaf
Key Differences
- Source:
- Cinnamon Bark Oil is extracted from the inner bark of the tree.
- Cinnamon Leaf Oil is distilled from the leaves.
- Chemical Composition:
- Bark Oil contains high levels of cinnamaldehyde, giving it a strong, spicy, and warm aroma.
- Leaf Oil has more eugenol, resulting in a lighter, herbal, and slightly musky scent.
- Aroma & Strength:
- Bark Oil has a deeper, richer, and sweeter cinnamon scent.
- Leaf Oil is milder, with a more herbal and clove-like nuance.
- Uses:
- Bark Oil is often used in perfumery, aromatherapy, and antimicrobial applications.
- Leaf Oil is preferred for pain relief, massage blends, and household products.
- Safety & Cost:
- Bark Oil is stronger and more expensive due to its complex extraction process.
- Leaf Oil is more affordable and safer for topical use, as Bark Oil can be a skin irritant.
