Dilution & Safety

Clove bud essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract and should never be applied undiluted. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before any skin use, and patch test first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, avoid internal use, and store the bottle in a cool, dark place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this clove bud oil pure and undiluted?
Yes. Every bottle is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added. You can review the results for this batch in our published Certificate of Analysis before or after you order.
Is clove bud oil the same as clove leaf or clove stem oil?
No. This oil is steam-distilled only from the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, not the leaves or stems, which are distilled separately and have a sharper, less refined aroma. Bud oil is generally considered the finer, more fragrant of the three.
What does clove bud oil smell like, and what does it blend with?
It has a warm, rich, and sweetly spicy aroma reminiscent of baking spice and mulled cider. It pairs beautifully with orange, cinnamon, cedarwood, frankincense, and vanilla in diffuser blends, candles, and other home fragrance projects.
How should I dilute clove bud oil for skin use?
Clove bud oil is highly concentrated, so dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil, such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, before applying to skin. Always patch test on a small area first and avoid using it undiluted.
What sizes do you offer, and can I order wholesale?
We offer ten sizes of this clove bud oil, from a 0.5 oz bottle up to a 400 lb drum, so you can order exactly what you need, whether you are trying a small amount or buying for wholesale production.
Does the price per ounce go down when I buy a larger size?
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of our smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making bulk sizes a real value for regular users and makers.
Is bulk clove bud oil covered by the same documentation as small bottles?
Yes, every size we sell, including our largest bulk drums, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for your records, please contact us before placing a bulk order.
Which size of clove bud oil should I choose?
A 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a good starting point if you are new to clove oil or testing a blend. Regular diffuser or candle users often prefer 2 oz to 8 oz, while soap makers, formulators, and resellers typically order 5 lbs or larger.
How fast does clove bud oil ship, and how do I check out?
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout for every size runs through our Shopify store, so you can order securely online.
Why do perfumers use clove bud oil as an accent note?
Clove bud oil's warm, rich, and sweetly spicy character makes it a favorite spicy accent in perfumery, where even a small amount adds depth and warmth to a blend without overpowering the other notes. It is typically used sparingly alongside lighter citrus or floral oils.
