Product Description
Clove Bud Essential Oil from The Ingredients Store is steam-distilled from the dried flower buds, which appear as pink/red long buds at the beginning of the rainy season. Do not be mistaken; this oil is sourced from the buds, not the leaves. The buds are harvested using a centuries-old technique of tapping the branches of the tree to free the buds. This sweet and spicy oil can be used to create a wide variety of beneficial personal products - why not give it a go and try blending it with Clary Sage or Lavender oil? Always dilute before use; refer to the IFRA certificate and SDS for maximum use levels.
