Clove Leaf Oil

WhatsApp Order

Clove Leaf Oil is a high-phenol essential oil extracted via steam distillation from the leaves of Syzygium aromaticum (formerly Eugenia caryophyllata). It typically contains up to 80–85% eugenol, which gives it a sharper, more herbaceous aroma than clove bud oil. This oil is prized for its potent antiseptic, analgesic, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Used in oral care, topical formulations, fragrances, cleaning agents, and agricultural applications, it is valued for both its therapeutic efficacy and aromatic profile.
