Why Are People Putting Cloves in Baby Oil? The Simple Home Remedy That’s Getting Attention

But what exactly is it, and why are so many people talking about it?

The Secret Behind Clove-Infused Baby Oil

Cloves contain a natural compound called eugenol, which gives them their distinctive scent and many of their traditional uses.

When cloves are infused into baby oil, the oil absorbs some of the clove’s aroma and natural compounds, creating a fragrant massage oil that can be used on the skin.

The result is an affordable DIY blend that many people enjoy for relaxation, massage, and general skin care.

How to Make Clove-Infused Baby Oil

Making this homemade infusion requires only two ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 10–15 whole cloves
  • 100 ml unscented baby oil

Instructions

  1. Lightly crush the cloves to release their natural oils.
  2. Place them in a clean glass jar.
  3. Pour the baby oil over the cloves until fully covered.
  4. Seal the jar tightly.
  5. Store it in a cool, dark place for 3–5 days.
  6. Shake gently once per day.
  7. Strain the cloves if desired before use.
