Clove Leaf Oil
Description
Clove leaf has a higher eugenol content (85/87%) than clove bud and should never be used directly on the skin or in large concentrations. It's excellent as an antiseptic because of the high proportion of eugenol. Clove oil is highly irritating to the skin and must be well diluted.
