Whatsapp Order

Clove Bud Oil is a potent essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum (formerly Eugenia caryophyllata) tree. Renowned for its strong, spicy, and warm aroma, it is rich in eugenol — a powerful natural compound with significant antiseptic, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties.
Used historically in dental care, traditional medicine, and perfumery, Clove Bud Oil is now widely applied in cosmetics, oral care, food flavoring, wellness, and natural cleaning products. It is also valued in aromatherapy for its grounding and energizing effects.
