🌟 Why Baby Oil and Cloves?
Cloves
These tiny buds are packed with eugenol, a natural compound with:
- Antibacterial and antifungal properties
- Anti-inflammatory effects for pain and skin irritation
- A powerful warming effect that improves blood flow
Baby Oil
Gentle and light, baby oil:
- Locks in moisture
- Softens dry, rough skin
- Acts as a smooth carrier for natural ingredients like cloves
🧴 How to Make the Mix
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup baby oil (unscented, if possible)
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
Instructions:
- Add cloves to a small glass jar or bottle.
- Pour baby oil over the cloves until fully covered.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 24–48 hours (or gently warm it for 10–15 minutes in a hot water bath for faster infusion).
- Shake well before use. After 10 seconds of application, you’ll feel the difference!
✅ How to Use It
- As a skin moisturizer: Smooth onto dry hands, heels, or elbows
- For glowing skin: Massage gently onto face or body (avoid eye area)
- To relieve joint or muscle pain: Massage into sore areas—the cloves create a natural warming sensation
- As a natural perfume oil: Light clove scent leaves a fresh, comforting aroma
- As a cuticle or foot oil: Deeply softens and refreshes tired feet or cracked hands
⚠️ Safety Note:
- Do a patch test before using on sensitive skin
