Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) – Bark, Extracts, Oils & Powders

Wholesale Ceylon Cinnamon in every format your formulation needs — sourced, processed, and shipped globally by TheWholesalerCo.

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, syn. Cinnamomum verum), known as True Cinnamon, Sri Lankan Cinnamon, and in Ayurveda as Tvak and Dalchini, is the original and most prized variety of the world's oldest known spice — the delicate, papery-thin, multi-layered bark quill that has commanded premium prices for over four thousand years. What makes Ceylon Cinnamon commercially critical is what it does NOT contain: unlike its more common cousin Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia), Ceylon Cinnamon carries negligible levels of coumarin (a hepatotoxic compound found at high levels in Cassia), making it the only cinnamon safe for daily therapeutic use and the species of choice for blood-sugar, metabolic-health, and cardiovascular nutraceuticals. Its essential oil profile, dominated by cinnamaldehyde (with lower levels than Cassia) alongside eugenol, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene, delivers a more refined, complex, citrus-sweet aroma that fine bakers, chocolatiers, and perfumers prefer over Cassia's sharper bite. Whether you're developing a blood-sugar support nutraceutical, a low-coumarin daily supplement, a premium baking spice, a warming aromatherapy blend, or a classical Ayurvedic Tvak formulation, TheWholesalerCo offers Ceylon Cinnamon in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole quills to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Species note: TheWholesalerCo supplies authenticated Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Ceylon / True Cinnamon) — distinct from Cinnamomum cassia (Chinese Cinnamon / Cassia), Cinnamomum burmannii (Indonesian Cassia), and Cinnamomum loureiroi (Vietnamese Cassia). Species authentication is critical because Cassia varieties contain 1–2% coumarin versus Ceylon's trace amounts (0.004%), a 250-fold difference with direct safety implications for daily-use supplements. We also supply Cassia separately; please specify the exact species when ordering.

Shop Ceylon Cinnamon by Form

Whole Cinnamon Quills (Ceylon)

Hand-rolled, graded Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark quills — the signature multi-layered, papery-thin, tightly-rolled cylinders that distinguish true Ceylon Cinnamon from Cassia's thicker, single-layer scrolls. Available in multiple grades based on quill diameter (Alba, Continental, Mexican, Hamburg, and lower grades), length, and essential oil content. Alba grade — the thinnest, most tightly rolled, lightest-colored quills — commands the highest premium. The preferred raw material for premium spice brands, nutraceutical extractors, essential oil distillers, and contract manufacturers working directly from source.

Cinnamon Bark Powder (Ceylon)

Finely milled Ceylon cinnamon bark powder, mesh-graded to your specification. The characteristic tan-brown color and delicate, sweet-citrus aroma distinguish genuine Ceylon from Cassia's darker, sharper powder. A workhorse ingredient for capsules, tablets, blood-sugar support blends, baking mixes, functional foods, masalas, and classical Ayurvedic churnas. Shelf-stable and the simplest way to deliver Ceylon cinnamon's full cinnamaldehyde, polyphenol, and low-coumarin profile in a single ingredient.

Ceylon Cinnamon Solvent-Based Extract

Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total polyphenols, cinnamaldehyde, type-A procyanidins, or MHCP (methylhydroxychalcone polymer) — the markers most cited in blood-sugar support clinical research. Low-coumarin certification available for all extract grades. The go-to form for metabolic-health nutraceuticals, blood-sugar support supplements, and cardiovascular brands where label claims, assay values, and clinical dossier alignment matter.

Ceylon Cinnamon CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, deeply aromatic extract preserving the full spectrum of cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, linalool, and volatile terpenes with exceptional aromatic fidelity. The premium choice for fine flavor systems, clean-label nutraceuticals, high-end cosmetics, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil

True Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oil is available from two distinct plant parts: bark oil (the premium grade, cinnamaldehyde-dominant with eugenol and linalool, intensely warm-sweet-spicy) and leaf oil (eugenol-dominant, more affordable, used as a natural eugenol source alongside clove leaf oil). Bark oil is the gold standard for aromatherapy, fine perfumery, and premium flavor; leaf oil serves industrial and cost-sensitive applications. Please specify bark or leaf when ordering.

Cinnamon Oleoresin

A concentrated, semi-solid extract capturing both the pungent cinnamaldehyde fraction and the volatile essential oil. The industry-standard form for food manufacturers, bakery systems, beverage producers, and ready-meal systems where consistent cinnamon flavor intensity is needed without visible bark particles.

Ceylon Cinnamon Oil (Classical Taila)

Prepared in line with Ayurvedic methodology — Tvak decoction cooked into a base oil until the water phase evaporates. Traditionally used in classical warming body oils, digestive-support formulations, joint-comfort blends, and Pitta-balancing therapies. Ideal for premium Ayurvedic brands building on traditional Tvak taila therapies.

Ceylon Cinnamon Infused Oil

Whole quills slowly infused into a carrier oil (sesame, coconut, sweet almond, or custom base on request). A label-friendly option for brands building "infused in" narratives without the intensity of essential oil. Popular in warming massage oils, culinary finishing oils, lip-care formulations, and specialty cosmetics.

Ceylon Cinnamon Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic, cinnamaldehyde-rich extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. If you're formulating a warming balm, a lip-plumping gloss, a circulation-boosting face oil, or an anhydrous system where you want cinnamon's hero actives in a controlled, ready-to-blend format, this is the form to choose.

Ceylon Cinnamon PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into mouthwashes, toothpastes, warming roll-ons, hair tonics, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform cinnamaldehyde distribution across aqueous and surfactant phases.

Ceylon Cinnamon Glycerine Extract

A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural oral-care brands, functional beverages, cinnamon-flavored supplements, gentle warming formulations, and water-based products where a soothing humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
