Clove Oil
Clove Oil is a sunflower oil macerate obtained by controlled, multi-stage temperature maceration of clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum) over several weeks. This gently transfers the buds' warming, purifying character into the carrier oil, at a markedly lower concentration than a steam-distilled essential oil.
