Contraindications: Use with caution. Cinnamon essential oil is a skin irritant when undiluted. It is considered a dermal toxin, irritant and sensitizer. It is also an irritant to the mucous membranes when undiluted. According to Robert Tisserand, the author of Essential Oil Safety, suggests that a recommended maximum dilution would be no more than 0.1% before applying to the skin. That’s equivalent to one drop in 30-40 ml of a carrier oil. Although there are some who feel that Cinnamon oil should never be applied to the skin no matter what dilution. Do not use in pregnancy, on babies/children or the elderly. It is sudorific (makes you sweat)
