Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v46je07.htm http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/0471238961.0309141405091205.a01/abstract https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15811570 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23178275

Cinnamyl alcohol (CAL, 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol) is found mostly in esterized form as a natural component in cinnamon oil obtained from the bark of the Cylonese cinnamon tree. Furthermore, (esterized) CAL is a component of the balsam of Peru from Myroxylon pereirae, of Styrax (balsam) from the wood of Liquidambar orientalis Miller or Liquidambar styraciflua L. and further plant extracts. The regulatory status of CAL includes approval (21 CFR 172.515) by the FDA and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) as flavor ingredient [Number 2294] by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association. CAL included in the Council of Europes list of substances which may be used in foodstuffs. CAL have been reported as common component of food occurring mainly in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices in varying concentrations. The plant phenolic CAL is used as a fragrance ingredient and has antipyretic and antiproliferative effects. A recent report also demonstrated its vasodilatory activity.

In Vitro Use Guide
The abdominal skin samples were stripped of their adipose tissue, giving a skin membrane of epidermis and dermis of a thikness of aproximately 2mm. Before application of cinnamyl alcohol the skin was allowed to equilibrate in the glass diffusion cells for 24 h. 250 ul of cinnamyl alcohol (200 mg/ml in ethanol) was placed on the epidermal side of the skin. The permeability coefficients was calculated to be 6.9*10^-5 cm/h.
