FAQs
Is Clove Essential Oil safe for sensitive skin?
Clove oil is very strong and can be irritating if used on its own. We only use it in carefully controlled amounts, always balanced with soothing oils and goat milk.
What does it smell like?
It has a warm, spicy, slightly sweet aroma — reminiscent of mulled wine, festive baking, or a cosy autumn evening.
What skin types is it good for?
Best for normal to combination skin that benefits from a refreshing cleanse. We don’t recommend it for broken or very sensitive skin.
Can I use Clove Essential Oil directly on my skin?
No — Clove Essential Oil is highly concentrated and should always be diluted. In our products, it’s blended safely into gentle, skin-loving formulas.
