Clove bud oil is produced through steam distillation. The process involves harvesting the unripe, dried flower buds of the clove tree. These buds are then subjected to high-pressure steam. The steam carries the volatile oil components of the clove buds, separating them from the plant matter. This aromatic steam is then cooled, causing the essential oil to condense and separate from the water.Its potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties make it effective in combating acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation. The oil's analgesic qualities can help soothe irritated skin and alleviate discomfort associated with skin conditions. Additionally, clove bud oil possesses antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from free radical damage and premature aging.
