Cinnamon Bark CO₂ Extract, obtained from the aromatic bark of Cinnamomum verum through supercritical CO₂ extraction, represents one of the most intense and refined expressions of cinnamon available to modern formulators and perfumers. This solvent-free technology preserves the bark’s most delicate aromatic molecules while concentrating its lipophilic constituents into a full-spectrum extract of exceptional potency and purity.
Cinnamon has been prized for thousands of years across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for its unmistakable warm, sweet-spicy aroma and its traditional uses in culinary, medicinal, and aromatic preparations. Compared to steam-distilled cinnamon bark essential oil, the CO₂ extract offers a rounder, deeper, and more complex profile, capturing not only the fiery spice of cinnamaldehyde but also balsamic, woody, and slightly honeyed undertones naturally present in the bark.
