About this material

Cinnamic Aldehyde, Cinnamaldehyde or more precisely Trans-Cinnamaldehyde as it is known; being the only naturally-occurring form is the chemical compound that is responsible for giving Cinnamon its odour and flavour.

This material occurs naturally in the bark of Cinnamon trees. Cinnamon trees are the main natural source of Cinnamon and the essential oil of the bark from the Cinnamon tree is approximately 90% of the aldehyde, which is why this material smells very strongly of Cinnamon.

It is powerful, versatile and always essential to the recreation of Cinnamon. Typically; the distinctive character of the majority of Cinnamon based products will be born from Cinnamic Aldehyde.

Concentrated Cinnamic Aldehyde is a skin irritant, which is why it plays a major part in the creation of air care products where it’s potential for irritating the skin is no longer problematic.

You can reduce the overwhelming effect this material has on your formulations, by blending it with Limonene; that will reduce the concentration without overly affecting the character of the Aldehyde.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Spice among petals

With rose and a clear floral accord

Explore a floral study with the spicy material as the changing accent. Compare it against the flower alone, deciding whether the contrast suggests warmth, brightness or a more pronounced spice character that deserves a different brief.

Peel and spice

With bergamot and an aromatic direction

Sketch a brighter spice idea around citrus peel, then compare an herbal variation separately. Evaluate which setting makes the material’s listed character easiest to recognise and whether the opening still matches the composition you want to build.

A textured wood

With sandalwood and an amber direction

Place the spice character against a simple wood backdrop and compare a warmer amber variation. Keep the wood-only reference close so you can judge the contribution of each change without mistaking a richer blend for a better one.

Product-specific warnings, handling precautions and storage requirements take precedence over this general information.

Read the applicable SDS

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available to logged in users who have purchased this item, where applicable.

Documents are not supplied before purchase.

Read the applicable SDS before handling or using the material. Follow its instructions for hazards, protective equipment, first aid, handling, storage and disposal.

An SDS provides information about the material supplied; it does not replace an assessment of the safety or compliance of a finished formulation.

Please note that supplementary documentation—including, but not limited to, IFRA Certificates, Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Allergen Declarations, and other regulatory or compositional data—may not be available for all products. Refer to the "Supplementary Documentation" tab to check current availability. If the tab is not present, no supplementary documents are available for the material.

Customers intending to use materials in cosmetic applications, including for the preparation of a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) under UK and EU Cosmetics Regulations, must contact us prior to purchase to confirm the availability and suitability of any required documentation where it is not explicitly stated.

Customer responsibility

These limitations apply to reliance on all documentation supplied, including IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications and other supporting documents.

Perfume Extract is solely a reseller of this product and is not an agent, official distributor, or affiliated in any way with the manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for determining whether the material and available documentation meet their requirements before purchase, and for assessing the safety and compliance of their finished products.

We do not provide formulation instructions, formulation consultancy or confirmation of suitability at a particular concentration or for a particular application.

Producer identity, detailed sourcing and processing information are not disclosed beyond the information published in the product listing.

Please read our Documentation Supply Policy alongside the product specification and available documentation.

Synonyms, alternative names, CAS/EC references, botanical names, manufacturer references and external links may describe a substance or material family generally. They should not, on their own, be taken as confirmation of the supplied material’s producer, geographical origin, manufacturing process, grade, purity, constituent levels or batch characteristics.

In particular, a synonym or reference must not be used to infer that a material is free from a particular constituent, meets a numerical specification, or is suitable for a particular application or concentration.

IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets and other supporting documents apply only within their expressly stated scope. A general specification or reference document is not a batch-specific analytical result unless it expressly identifies the relevant batch.

If information appears inconsistent, or a particular characteristic is essential to your purchase, contact us for written clarification before ordering. Do not resolve discrepancies by assuming that a synonym, external reference or document for another grade applies to the material supplied.

We do not confirm characteristics beyond those expressly supported by the applicable product specification or our written confirmation. Customers remain responsible for assessing their complete formulation and intended application.

Nothing in this information excludes or restricts liability or statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
