How to Prepare Clove Oil with Baby Oil
Making clove-infused oil at home is simple, cost-effective, and skin-friendly.
Ingredients:
-
½ cup baby oil (acts as the carrier oil, mild and skin-safe)
-
1–2 tablespoons whole cloves (crushed lightly)
Method:
-
Crush the cloves: Lightly crush whole cloves to release their natural oils and aroma.
-
Heat the oil: Warm the baby oil gently in a pan or double boiler (do not overheat).
-
Infuse the cloves: Add the crushed cloves to the warm oil and let them simmer on very low heat for 5–7 minutes.
-
Cool and strain: Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely. Strain the oil into a clean glass bottle.
-
Store properly: Keep the clove-infused baby oil in a cool, dark place.
How to Use
-
For acne: Dab a little clove oil mixture on the affected area using a cotton swab.
-
For skin glow: Massage a few drops onto your face (avoid eyes and mouth).
-
For body care: Use as a massage oil to relax muscles while nourishing skin.
Precautions
-
Always do a patch test before using clove oil, as it is potent and can cause irritation in sensitive skin.
-
Avoid direct undiluted clove essential oil—infused oil with baby oil is gentler.
-
Do not use on broken skin or open wounds.
