Cinnamon leaf originates from the Cinnamomum verum tree, native to Sri Lanka, India and parts of Southeast Asia. Unlike its counterpart, cinnamon bark, which is derived from the inner bark of the tree, cinnamon leaf oil is extracted from the leaves through a meticulous steam distillation process. This process preserves the oil’s distinctive aroma and therapeutic properties, making it a prized commodity in various industries.

Cinnamon leaf oil contains a variety of chemical compounds that contribute to its distinct aroma and therapeutic properties. The primary components include cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, linalool, and benzyl benzoate. These compounds exhibit antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, making cinnamon leaf oil a valuable natural remedy.
