Product Details

Our organic clove bud essential oil is a middle note steam distilled from the buds of Syzygium aromaticum. Cloves are the flower bud of an evergreen tree that is native to Indonesia, and it can now be found growing within Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, and China.

This oil is emotionally balancing and offers clarity and a stimulating atmosphere. It adds warmth to diffuser and perfume blends and can be used in massage oil, salves, and other body care formulations.

Aroma
It is spicy and pungent with dry, slight sweet and fruity notes that are characteristic to dried clove buds.

Constituents
This oil is primarily composed of eugenol, between 70-85%, as well as eugenyl acetate, and β-caryophyllene. Eugenol will also be found in cinnamon leaf, cinnamon bark, and bay laurel. Eugenyl acetate is also in cinnamon leaf, and β-caryophyllene is in copaiba balsam, black pepper, and ylang ylang.

Blending and Uses
This oil is often used in autumn themed diffuser, perfume, or aroma spray blends. Combine with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon to awaken the senses and bring comfort. Clove and orange is a classic wintertime combination, and blending with Virginia cedarwood and juniper berry offers more evergreen notes. Vanilla or peru balsam are aromatically vibrant and sweet combinations for clove in perfumes. In contrast it can also be paired with bright fruity oils like grapefruit, litsea cubeba, and ylang ylang.

Massage oil or salve blends with clove oil can be used for occasional aches with other helpful oils like lavender, rosemary, cypress, or black pepper. Clove can also be combined with peppermint or fennel oils to gently rub on the abdomen for digestive discomfort. Use it in soaps with black spruce, spearmint, or tangerine. It is included in “four thieves” style blends like our Shield Blend, for its cleansing properties, and can be added to simple surface cleaning recipes with lemon oil.

Clove bud oil is quite pungent and should be used sparingly in any blend. Start with one drop at a time when adding to perfume or topical formulations so it does not become overpowering or irritating to skin. Slowly add more oil to achieve your desired results.

Packaging
1/2 oz. and 1 oz. essential oils are packaged in amber glass bottles with drop reducers for easy application. Larger sizes are packaged in amber screw cap bottles and do not come with reducers or droppers.

Safety
This oil may interact with certain drugs, may contain methyleugenol, and can cause skin sensitization. Never use essential oils undiluted, in eyes or mucus membranes. Do not take internally unless working with a qualified healthcare practitioner. Keep away from children and pets.

Before using perform a small patch test on your inner forearm or back. Apply a small quantity of diluted essential oil and cover with a bandage. If you experience any irritation use carrier oil or cream to further dilute the essential oil, and then wash with soap and water. If no irritation occurs after 48 hours it is safe to use on your skin. Learn more about using essential oils here.
