Clove Bud Essential Oil

Here’s a robust and aromatic essential oil with a rich history and plentiful benefits: Clove Bud Essential Oil.

Native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia and used for centuries, the powerfully penetrating Clove Bud Essential Oil - also known as Clove Essential Oil - is renowned for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antibacterial benefits. It’s all due to the dominating constituent in Clove Oil, eugenol, a naturally occurring ingredient that does everything from repairing damaged skin to soothing irritation and fighting infections.

Clove Bud Essential Oil carries a spicy, woody aroma with a somewhat sweet undertone that is familiar in aromatherapy. Diffused, it does much more than smell good, supporting decongestion and mental focus. Use diluted and topically to care for your skin and as part of your household cleaning regime to keep bacteria at bay.
