Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil (Clove Leaf Oil)

Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil is a strongly aromatic essential oil, typically obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), valued for its warm, spicy scent and functional activity driven largely by eugenol. In cosmetic formulations, it is used primarily as a perfuming ingredient and as part of botanical blends that support a purified, refreshed skin feel, while offering antioxidant properties that can help protect formulas from oxidative stress. It is most commonly included at low concentrations in cleansing products, oral-care style cosmetics, deodorants, scalp and hair treatments, massage blends, and warming body-care concepts. Due to its high eugenol content and potential for irritation or sensitization, especially on sensitive skin, Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil is typically formulated in line with applicable IFRA guidance and used cautiously in leave-on products.
