Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Leaf Oil

Mid risk

FunctionEssential Oil

What it is — Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Leaf Oil is an aromatic essential oil distilled from clove leaves, used mainly for natural scent.

What it does — It contributes a warm, spicy aroma to a formula. Like most essential oils it contains naturally occurring fragrance constituents.

Typical use — Appears in fragranced skin, body and hair products at low levels.

Who it suits / good to know — Best for those who enjoy naturally scented products and tolerate essential oils. Clove-family oils are relatively rich in sensitizing aroma compounds, so cautious use is wise for reactive or sensitive skin.

Safety — Graded mid risk because, as a fragrant essential oil, it can carry sensitizing constituents. This is general information, not medical advice. Patch-test before wider use and avoid on broken or highly reactive skin.
