About this composition

This bark oil record uses a directly readable peer-reviewed GC-MS composition with cinnamaldehyde-dominant true cinnamon bark oil, then anchors note strength, extraction method, and dermal maximum to a public AromaWeb safety summary citing Tisserand and Young. The 'super premium' product label is treated here as a high-grade commercial presentation of the same bark essential oil rather than a separate chemotype.
