Clove Essential Oil

Clove essential oil is one of the most potent and traditionally valued essential oils, prized for its warming properties and natural cleansing abilities. Derived from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, it has been used for centuries in wellness practices to support vitality, comfort, and overall well-being. In aromatherapy, its rich, spicy aroma may help promote focus, boost energy, and create a warm, invigorating atmosphere. Clove is also known for its powerful antioxidant properties and is often used in seasonal wellness blends. When properly diluted, it provides a comforting warming sensation that may help soothe tired muscles and areas of tension, making it a favorite for massage and recovery routines.

Topical Use (Recommended):

For topical use, Clove essential oil is considered a "hot oil" and should be diluted more carefully than most essential oils.

• 0.5% dilution: about 1 drop of clove essential oil per 2 teaspoons of Platinum Nourishing Carrier Oil
  
• 1% dilution: about 1 drop per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing Carrier Oil (for short-term use on less sensitive skin)
  

For most people, especially those with sensitive skin, it’s best to start with the 0.5% dilution to minimize the risk of irritation.

Clove essential oil is highly concentrated and may cause skin sensitivity if used undiluted. Always perform a patch test before wider use and avoid applying to the face, sensitive areas, or broken skin.
