Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract

Mid risk

FunctionFragrant Botanical

What it is — Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract (INCI: Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract) is an aromatic botanical from cassia cinnamon bark.

What it does — It is commonly used for scent, a warming sensory character or as a botanical accent, rather than as a core skincare active.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in some toners, masks, scalp and body products where a warming or fragrant note is wanted.

Who it suits / good to know — Cassia bark naturally contains cinnamaldehyde, a well-documented fragrance sensitizer, so it is best approached with caution on sensitive or reactive skin.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk: a well-documented skin sensitizer and irritant (cinnamaldehyde). This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk — well-documented skin sensitizer and irritant (cinnamaldehyde).
