Description
Clove Bud Oil is distilled from the aromatic flower buds of the clove, a tropical evergreen tree belonging to the myrtle family.
The tree can grow to be 90 years old. The flowers are picked before the blossoms open up, and dried for 48 hours in the sun, during which time they turn from a light pink colour to dark brown. The essential oil is extracted from the flower buds by steam distillation and it has a warm, rich, spicy and sweet aroma.
Clove bud oil is often used for its antiseptic and analgesic (pain relieving) properties in toothpastes, mouthwash and lozenges. It’s primary chemical constitutions include eugenol, which has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects on skin. This makes clove ideal for soothing the entire mouth and freshen breath.
