About

Leaf water from indigenous cinnamon, a traditional Taiwanese botanical with aromatic, soothing properties.

Cinnamomum osmophloeum (Taiwanese cinnamon) leaf water contains cinnamaldehyde and eugenol as major volatile constituents. Both compounds are listed as fragrance allergens in EU Annex III under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, requiring declaration in the ingredient list above specified thresholds. The leaf water (hydrosol) form contains significantly lower concentrations than the essential oil, reducing but not eliminating allergen concerns. Individuals with cinnamon or spice allergies should exercise caution.
