Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Indonesian Heritage: Our Clove Leaf Essential Oil (Rectified) is sourced from Indonesia, where the Clove tree has been cultivated for over 2000 years. This oil undergoes steam distillation of the tree’s leaves, offering a rich, herbaceous aroma that is sharp and woody.
Milder Alternative: Clove Leaf Essential Oil shares many of the same beneficial properties as Clove Bud Oil, but with a milder scent profile. Its less spicy-sweet aroma is perfect for those who prefer a more subtle clove fragrance.
Total Body Wellness: Clove Leaf Essential Oil can be added to massage oils or foot creams to stimulate circulation, providing a warming and invigorating effect.
Skin Care Staple: For acne-prone or oily skin, Clove Leaf Essential Oil can be incorporated into face washes at low concentrations or diluted with a carrier oil to promote clearer-looking skin.
DESCRIPTION
Clove Leaf Essential Oil (Rectified) is distilled from the leaves of the Syzygium aromaticum L., a slender evergreen native to Indonesia and the Molucca Islands. This towering tree, which can grow up to 12 meters, has a smooth gray trunk and glossy green leaves. The resulting essential oil is revered for its sharp, burnt-woody aroma, akin to Clove Bud Essential Oil but with a milder, more herbaceous profile.
With a history of use that spans over two millennia, Clove trees have long been treasured for their aromatic properties. Whether you're crafting an uplifting massage oil, an aromatic body scrub, or a skin-purifying cleanser, Clove Leaf Essential Oil offers a unique balance of warmth and invigoration, perfect for a wide range of applications.
