Cinnamon sticks 7 cm - 8 cm

Cinnamon sticks look great on any product. Visually they are great, but they are also good for your skin.

Cinnamon is a popular spice made from the bark of cinnamon trees (Cinnamomum). Essential cinnamon oil is sometimes added to cosmetic products such as perfumes, creams, lip balms and scrubs. For example, some people add it to homemade skin care products in an effort to lighten skin, improve acne and reduce signs of aging.

Cinnamon sticks

Cinnamon sticks are rich in plant compounds known as polyphenols, such as cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde and various flavonoids. These have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help fight cell-damaging free radicals.

Researchers have suggested that cinnamon’s high cinnamaldehyde content is responsible for its collagen-promoting effects, while its antioxidant properties may protect the skin from collagen-degrading free radicals.
