Last update on Jul 3, 2025

Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract is a plant-derived ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products for its fragrance-enhancing properties. Also referred to as Chinese Cinnamon Extract, it imparts a warm, spicy, cinnamon-like scent to beauty formulations, enhancing their sensory experience. Known for its conditioning, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, it supports both skin and hair health. This extract is often included in products such as face and body creams, cleansers, acne treatments, lip balms, and perfumes. While naturally derived, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract may cause skin sensitivity, making it one of the less gentle options among natural ingredients.
