I was a little worried when I first opened the bottle, because I got this very earthy smell as opposed to a sharp cinnamon and almost didn't use it, but when I tried it in my lotion it really came through. It isn't as strong as some cinnamon but much truer than my original impression.

As expected, this one is strong and spicy! I love using it in my cold process soap. A little goes a LONG way! This goes great with orange, clove, and even eucalyptus or peppermint. Just made a goat milk oatmeal soap with cinnamon and clove and it smells like a yummy cookie.

My mom always purchased real cinnamon vs cassia and this is exactly what it smells like. I do cp soaps and this goes great with the 6 fold sweet orange. I give my soaps to clients as Christmas gifts, I'm complimented to know some of them have yet to use their bar of soap a whole year later because they love to keep them just to enjoy the aroma!!! :P

I use this in my homemade toothpaste along with a little clove oil. It tastes great and is good for your teeth. I put it in my laundry to make my clothes smell awesome! A few drops in standing water is supposed to kill mosquito larvae. It didn't work in a 55-gal drum, but haven't tried it in smaller areas yet.

This oil has a strong, comforting scent. I combined a tiny bit with Clove Bud Oil and Sweet Orange, to use in my lotions, soap, and salts, and was immediately reminded of fall.

This cinnamon is a little more earthy smelling than what I expected, but has worked so well in the lotions and CP soaps I've used it in. I made a christmas soap and used this E.O. along with sweet orange, spruce, and peppermint and this cinnamon was perfect for it. Just the right amount of spice and it really seems to perk you up. I was a little worried about skin irration but have not had any problems so far.

Smells just like the real thing. A little bit goes a long way and smells great in my body butters.

This doesn't smell like a cinnamon stick, but certainly has strong earthy cinnamon fragrance. No acceleration or discoloration in CP soap and the fragrance sticks!

I like this EO, but Camden-Grey's Cinnamon Roll is better regarding scent. The benefit is working with an ESSENTIAL OIL instead of an FO. I blends well with all of my cold-process soaps. It's also not too strong, and didn't discolor any batches.

This is one of my favorite Essential oils. It works great in CP soaps and blends well with so many other essential oils. Its very strong, so a little goes a long way.
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
