Cinnamon

Cinnamon, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum trees, is prized for its warming and antimicrobial properties. In skincare, cinnamon enhances blood circulation when applied topically, giving the skin a natural glow and plumping effect. It also contains cinnamaldehyde, which helps fight bacteria, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin. Its antioxidant content helps combat signs of aging and free radical damage. When used carefully, cinnamon can support smoother, clearer skin. However, it should be used in diluted forms, as it may cause irritation in sensitive skin. Its spicy aroma also provides an invigorating sensory experience in cosmetic formulations.
