Botanical Name: Eugenia caryophyllata
Plant Part: Leaf
Country of Origin: Madagascar.
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
Clove leaf essential oil has a higher eugenol content (85/87%) than clove bud and should never be used directly on the skin or in large concentrations. It's excellent as an antiseptic because of the high proportion of eugenol. Clove oil is highly irritating to the skin and must be well diluted.
This EO helps stimulate digestion, restores appetite and relieves flatulence. The dental value of cloves is well know, the oil has been traditionally used to relieve toothaches. Clove oil is not used in skin care except to treat infectious wounds, skin sores and leg ulcers by knowledgeable persons. Beneficial to the digestive system, effective against diarrhea, vomiting and spasms in a well-diluted massage blend. May help toothache, rheumatism, arthritis and mouth sores. Blends well with basil, cinnamon, citronella, orange and peppermint. Flash point: 200F.

I put this in my homemade toothpaste along with cinnamon EO. It gives it a little extra "kick" and is great for gums. A little certainly goes a long way!

Slightly greener and still so strong and spicy. You don't need a ton of this stuff. I can tell its concentrated and high quality. Great!

Very distinct clove smell, warm and spicy; it reminds me of Christmas. Adds a masculine touch to CP soaps, I use it often in shaving soaps because it has a natural mildly numbing effect on the skin. Also makes a nice complementary scent in Pine Tar soap, which is hard to add fragrance to since the piney smell is so strong.

you can only use it in small quantities due to it's strength. fortunately, you'll only need a small amount as clove essential oil goes a long way. i especially like to mix it with other spice oils like black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: Are sold only in the quantities/net weights listed on our website. These oils are shipped to us by the distiller or manufacturer in industry-standard metal or plastic containers and that’s how we ship them to you.
Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
Raw materials/ingredients are sold and dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces are in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs and FOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames and from varnished or wood surfaces. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets.
