Re: Cinnamon Bark Safe in Perfume?

[Guest guest]

I have cinnamon bark

> diluted to 60% in alcohol, my question is, can I use this in perfume

safely?

> So, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,

Cinnamon Bark is on the list of restricted oils by IFRA (Internation

Fragrance Association), as it is a skin sensitizer. A better choice

(albeit different smell) would be to use Cinnamon Leaf EO.

Hope that helps,

Maggie

Hi Maggie,

Thanks for your reply, I will not use the cinnamon bark in my perfume blend. I

will look

into cinnamon leaf.

Can anyone recommend some relatively inexpensive ingredients for a newbie trying

to

make a " sexy-spicy " perfume at her sister's request? Any suggestions are

greatly

appreciated.
