This page carries clove bud oil in 5, 25, 100, and 400 pound quantities for soapmakers, candle makers, and formulators who work through it faster than a single bottle allows. Every pound meets the same steam-distilled purity standard we bottle at retail, just packaged for production runs instead of a single project.
Warm spice character. Clove bud's rich, sweetly woody aroma stays potent through blending, so it anchors autumn and holiday scent lines without needing much per batch.
Documented purity. Every bulk size ships against the same published Certificate of Analysis as the retail bottle, so formulators can verify what's in the drum before committing to a production run.
Lower cost per pound. The 400 lb size works out to roughly $18 per pound, less than half what you'd pay per pound buying the 0.5 oz retail bottle.
Orange, cinnamon, cedarwood, frankincense, and vanilla

Ways to Use It
Soap and Cosmetic Makers
Clove bud brings a warm, spicy note that survives saponification, giving cold-process and melt-and-pour soap a lasting scent through curing weeks and beyond.
Its warm, woody spice profile deepens seasonal candle lines and potpourri blends, holding well in wax and giving mulled-cider and baking-spice scents real depth.
Used sparingly, clove bud adds a spicy accent note to natural perfumery and cleaning blends, and pairs well with orange and cinnamon in classic seasonal formulas.
Buying by the pound lets retailers and private label brands bottle clove bud oil under their own labels at a lower per-unit cost than sourcing single bottles.
Keep bulk containers sealed, cool, and out of direct light between uses, and decant only the amount you need into a smaller airtight bottle rather than opening the full drum repeatedly. Store away from children, pets, and eyes. For any skin application, dilute clove bud oil to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test before wider use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes, every bulk size is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis as the retail bottle. If you need anything beyond what's published there, contact us before placing your order.
How does the per-pound price compare across sizes? ▾
The smallest retail bottle, 0.5 oz, works out to roughly $290 per pound of oil. Buying by the pound brings that down fast: 5 lbs runs about $34.62 per lb, 25 lbs about $27.82 per lb, 100 lbs about $20.88 per lb, and 400 lbs about $17.85 per lb.
Is the bulk oil the same quality as the retail bottles? ▾
Yes. We produce clove bud oil to one standard, not a separate bulk grade, and every size, from the 0.5 oz bottle to the 400 lb drum, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis.
Which bulk size should I start with? ▾
5 lbs suits a first production run or a small soap or candle line still testing formulas. 25 lbs fits a steady seasonal line, and 100 or 400 lbs makes sense once you're ordering for manufacturing-scale batches on a regular schedule.
Can I order more than 400 lbs? ▾
Yes, larger quantities are available beyond the 400 lb size listed here. Contact us with the volume and timeline you need, and we'll work out custom pricing and order logistics for your production run.
How fast do bulk orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes, especially 100 and 400 lbs, may need a bit of extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store like any other order.
What's the best way to store bulk quantities? ▾
Keep drums or pails sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight, and pour off smaller working amounts into airtight glass or metal bottles rather than leaving the main container open. This keeps the oil's spicy top notes from fading over months of use.
Does clove bud oil affect trace or color in cold process soap? ▾
Some soapmakers find clove bud speeds up trace, so add it toward the end of mixing and work quickly. It can also deepen the bar's color to a light tan or brown over curing weeks, which many makers use to their advantage in spice-themed bars.
