OriginDerived from the aromatic compound cinnamaldehyde found in cinnamon bark or synthesized from benzene derivatives. Produced through catalytic hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to reduce the aldehyde group to a primary alcohol.
Cinnamyl alcohol is a naturally occurring compound that is found within cinnamon. Due to the low levels found in cinnamon, cinnamyl alcohol is usually supplied as [DB14184] within commercial products. Cinnamyl alcohol has been shown to be a skin sensitizer, with a NOEL (No Effect Level) of ~4%. Sensitivity to cinnamyl alcohol may be identified with a clinical patch test.
