Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract
A bark extract from Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Ceylon cinnamon), valued for a softer cinnamon profile. It's used for fragrance and for polyphenols with antioxidant activity, but topical performance data remain modest.

Our take
Is Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract a Good Ingredient?
Offers scent and antioxidant constituents, yet meaningful topical outcomes are not well demonstrated, and fragrance allergens can provoke sensitivity in some users. That mix of modest evidence and some risk keeps it at a Fair rating rather than Good.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Provides a gentle cinnamon aroma and polyphenols that can mitigate surface oxidative stress; current human evidence is modest.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Found in serums, creams, and toners to add a spice nuance and support antioxidant positioning, generally used sparingly.
Before you use it
Safety
Can trigger irritation or allergic contact reactions in susceptible users; consider patch testing and conservative use levels. In the EU, specified fragrance allergens must be listed when exceeding limits.
