We are always on the hunt for the next best skincare or wellness product, spending a fortune on fancy creams and lotions. But what if I told you that one of the most powerful, multi-purpose remedies is likely already sitting in your bathroom and kitchen cabinets right now?
By simply infusing everyday baby oil with common kitchen cloves, you create a natural, deeply nourishing, and therapeutic elixir.
Baby oil is famous for its gentle ability to lock in moisture and soften the skin. Cloves, on the other hand, are packed with a powerful compound called eugenol, which is renowned for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties. Together, they form a magical combination!
Here is a quick look at how to make it, followed by 11 powerful reasons you should start using this mixture every single day.
How to Make Clove-Infused Baby Oil
Making this remedy is incredibly easy and only takes a minute to prep:
- Get your ingredients: You will need a bottle of standard baby oil (mineral oil or plant-based baby oil works perfectly) and about 1 to 2 tablespoons of whole cloves.
- Combine: Drop the whole cloves directly into the bottle of baby oil. (For a stronger infusion, you can lightly crush the cloves first to release their essential oils).
- Let it steep: Close the bottle tightly and give it a good shake. Leave it in a cool, dark place for 3 to 7 days so the baby oil can absorb all the therapeutic properties of the cloves.
Once your oil is infused, it is ready to use! Here is what happens when you incorporate it into your daily routine.
1. Fights Acne and Breakouts
Cloves possess incredibly strong antibacterial and antiseptic properties. When combined with the non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) nature of most modern baby oils, applying a thin layer of this mixture to acne-prone areas can help kill acne-causing bacteria while keeping the skin hydrated.
2. Soothes Aching Muscles and Joints
Eugenol, the active compound in cloves, is a natural analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. Massaging this infused oil into sore muscles, a stiff neck, or aching joints provides a warming sensation that deeply soothes tension and reduces pain.
