Information
Cinnamal, also known as cinnamaldehyde, is an organic compound derived from the bark of cinnamon trees and characterized by its sweet, spicy, and cinnamon-like aroma.
Where does it come from?
Cinnamal is primarily derived from the bark of cinnamon tree species such as Cinnamomum verum (true cinnamon) and Cinnamomum cassia (cassia or Chinese cinnamon). It can also be found in smaller quantities in other plants and essential oils, contributing to their characteristic aromas. The compound is extracted through steam distillation of the plant material.
Inhibits Growth: Cinnamal has been shown to possess the ability to naturally inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens. This makes it a valuable ingredient in formulations to benefit various skin conditions.
Antioxidant: As an antioxidant, cinnamal can neutralize free radicals, which are responsible for the signs of maturing skin, thereby promoting a more youthful appearance.
Aromatic Compound: Beyond its functional benefits, cinnamal is often used in skincare products for its pleasant, warm, and spicy aroma, contributing to the sensory experience of using these products.
