Aura Cacia Cassia (Cinnamon Bark) Essential Oil

Warm, Spiced Comfort Straight from the Bark

Aura Cacia's Cassia Essential Oil captures the rich, sweet-spicy warmth of pure Cinnamomum cassia bark — a close relative of true cinnamon with a bolder, more intense aromatic profile. Steam-distilled for full potency, this deeply warming oil is a seasonal aromatherapy staple and a powerful anchor for spice-forward diffuser blends.

What's Inside Cassia Essential Oil?

Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) Essential Oil: A rich, sweet, and intensely spicy aroma with warm woody undertones. Cassia is one of the most potent essential oils available and is known for its deeply warming, comforting scent profile. Due to its high cinnamaldehyde content, it must always be heavily diluted before any topical use.

How Do You Use Cassia Essential Oil?

Diffuse 1–2 drops blended with complementary oils like clove, orange, or frankincense for a warming seasonal atmosphere. For topical use, dilute very carefully — no more than 0.05% (1 drop per 4 tablespoons of carrier oil) — due to its high skin sensitization potential. Avoid use around children, pets, and during pregnancy. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children.

Who Is This Oil For?

Best suited for experienced essential oil users and aromatherapy blenders who appreciate bold, warming spice oils and understand proper dilution protocols.
