Interpretation of Selected New Cosmetic Ingredients

Cinnamomum burmannii is a species in the Lauraceae (laurel) family and the Cinnamomum genus. It is a tree that typically grows up to 14 meters tall, with smooth bark ranging from grayish brown to dark brown. The species is mainly distributed across Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia. In China, it is primarily found in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Fujian provinces. It grows in open forests, dense woodlands, or shrublands at altitudes of 100 to 1,400 meters, and in southern China, it can grow at elevations up to 2,100 meters.

The scent of Cinnamomum burmannii is very similar to that of cinnamon, and it is often used as a substitute for cinnamon bark. Its bark, leaves, and roots can all be used to extract aromatic oils. The essential oils derived from this species are rich in aldehydes and ketones and are widely used in the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries. The aromatic oil extracted from the bark is known as Guang Gui Oil, which can be used in food flavorings as well as in soap fragrances and cosmetics. The oil extracted from the twigs and leaves is known as Guang Gui Leaf Oil, which is typically used in cosmetic fragrances.
