Clove (Eugenia Caryophyllus) was first brought to Europe by the Arabs and Venetians and was used as a natural food preservative and embalming agent. Cloves have been used medicinally because of the large amount of natural oil found in undeveloped plants.

Eugenia Caryophyllus was eaten as an aphrodisiac, and its germicidal, anesthetic, and antiseptic properties made it useful as a product for the teeth and gums. The herb also contains analgesic and opiate properties, is considered a reducing agent, and has been reported to be anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic.

Eugenia Caryophyllus Bud Extract is a medium to dark amber liquid with a characteristic odor. Clove extract's stimulating qualities make it an excellent component for skin creams, lotions, gels, ointments, lip balms, hair care products, and mouthwashes.
