Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil: First let me say this is not its intended use and you must be careful using undiluted essential oils. Be sure if you try this at home you will have to start off with a very weak formulation. If you fail to do so you can cause burning of the tissue, peeling, dryness and other adverse reactions. Always spot test any products or home made products with essential oils. Please use caution and never apply essential oil directly to skin.

Cinnamons Leaf essential oil is often used in lip plumping glosses to increase blood flow and irritate the mucosa of the lips to temporarily plump and turn out the lips. Some visitors to the site, including myself, have used or regularly use a few drops of cinnamon leaf (not bark) oil mixed in with their regular lip gloss or mixed into home made lip glosses using concoctions of aloe, dimethicone, emu oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor, etc. Some even add niacin.

Just be sure to never, ever apply undiluted essential oils to your bare skin and to always test spot in an inconspicuous place to test for reactions. This is usually done by apply a small amount behind the ear or in the forearm, and allowing it to dry -- watch it for 24 hours and reapply and watch again. If no reaction is noticed (rash, hives, extreme redness, extreme burning, tenderness, difficulty breathing, etc.) you may be able to use the product. However, be advised cinnamon oil DOES tingle, create warmth and may sting a little so be careful at first. This irritation is what causes the plumping. Please use at your own risk.
