Buying Clove Leaf in Bulk
We happily fill bulk orders for clove leaf oil, and every size, from a 0.5 oz sample to a 400 lb drum, comes from the exact same standard of purity. Soap makers, candle crafters, and resellers are always welcome here.
A few drops of clove leaf oil in the diffuser brings a bold, smoky spice to any room, especially paired with citrus or woodsy notes for a cozy seasonal ambiance.
Formulators rely on clove leaf oil's strength to carry true clove character through cold-process soap batches and candle lines at production-ready volumes.
Clove leaf essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract meant for aromatic and cosmetic use only, never internal use. For skin application, dilute at 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test on a small area first. Keep the bottle away from eyes, children, and pets, and store it in a cool, dark place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your clove leaf essential oil pure? ▾
Yes. Our clove leaf essential oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added and nothing removed. It's steam-distilled straight from the leaves of Syzygium aromaticum, so what you're smelling and using is the oil itself, not a blend or a diluted version.
What's the difference between clove leaf oil and clove bud oil? ▾
Both come from Syzygium aromaticum, but clove leaf oil is distilled from the tree's leaves rather than its flower buds. The leaf harvest is far more abundant, which makes leaf oil the more economical option, and its aroma leans bolder, smokier, and drier than the rounder sweetness of bud oil.
What does clove leaf oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
Clove leaf oil carries a bold, smoky, earthy-spicy scent with a dry warmth. It pairs naturally with sweet orange, cinnamon leaf, cedarwood, patchouli, black pepper, and vanilla, making it a strong anchor note in warm, spiced blends for candles, soap, and home fragrance.
How do I dilute clove leaf oil for skin use? ▾
Because it's a concentrated oil, mix it into a carrier oil at 0.5% to 2% before applying to skin, roughly a few drops per tablespoon of carrier. Always patch test on a small area first and discontinue use if you notice any irritation.
What sizes do you offer, and can I buy wholesale? ▾
We offer ten sizes of clove leaf oil, from a 0.5 oz bottle up to a 400 lb drum, so you can buy exactly what your project needs. The larger sizes are built for formulators, makers, and resellers buying at wholesale volume.
Does buying a bigger size save money per ounce? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases across our ten options, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of our smallest 0.5 oz bottle. Buying larger is simply a more economical way to stock up.
Which size of clove leaf oil should I choose? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottles are a good starting point if you're new to clove leaf oil or testing a recipe. Our 2 oz to 8 oz sizes suit regular home use, while 16 oz and up are built for soap, candle, and other maker-scale batches.
How fast do orders ship, and how do I check out? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so you can order securely right from this site.
Why is clove leaf oil often used as a base for soap and candle making? ▾
Clove leaf oil's bold, smoky strength holds up well through the heat of candle making and the curing process of cold-process soap, so its clove character stays noticeable in the finished product. That durability is why makers reach for leaf oil over bud oil at production volumes.
