Why We Love
Cinnamon
Used in Asian cultures for centuries, cinnamon offers many benefits. Often utilized in aromatherapy in combination with lemon, lavender, geranium and rosemary essential oils, cinnamon extract has been useful in many ways.
Skincare Benefits: Cinnamon cleanses skin on the scalp, can be used to manage excessively dry and flaky skin, and reduces signs of tired or aging looking skin. Cinnamon exfoliates dry and dead skin to improve complexion.
Ayurvedic Therapy Benefits: In massage oils, cinnamon oil can boost flow. It’s important to note that cinnamon oil made only from the leaves should be used on the skin. Oil from the bark can cause allergic reactions.
