Mix Baby Oil with Cloves — A Surprising Combo That Works Wonders at Home! 💧🧄
Who would’ve thought that something as simple as baby oil and cloves could become your go-to multi-use remedy? This little trick has been passed down by grandmas and natural beauty lovers — and once you try it, you’ll see why!
Let’s dive into how this mix can help with pain, pests, skincare, and more…
Why This Works So Well:
Cloves are known for their strong antibacterial and pain-relieving properties. Baby oil is gentle, hydrating, and helps deliver those benefits deep into your skin. Together, they form a mild, soothing, and effective remedy that smells lovely too.
What You Can Use It For:
🦟 Natural Mosquito Repellent
Just dab a little on your skin before heading outside — the clove scent keeps bugs away without chemicals.
🧴 Soothing Body Oil for Pain
Warm slightly and massage on stiff joints or sore muscles. Clove oil helps reduce inflammation and relieve tension.
🧖♀️ Dry Skin Rescue
Rub into elbows, heels, or rough hands before bed. You’ll wake up with softer skin.
💆♀️ Scalp Treatment
Massage gently into your scalp to reduce dandruff and improve blood circulation. Leave on for 30 minutes, then wash.
How to Make It:
- Crush 1 tablespoon of whole cloves (to release the oils).
- Mix with ½ cup of baby oil in a clean glass jar.
- Let it sit for 3–5 days in a cool, dark place (shake gently once a day).
- Strain out the cloves before using.
That’s it — your powerful, homemade remedy is ready!
Extra Tips:
- Store it in a glass bottle for longer shelf life.
- Always patch test before using on sensitive skin.
- Add a few drops of lavender or tea tree oil for extra benefits.
FAQs:

Yes, but test on a small patch of skin first and avoid using on infants or near eyes.
How long does it last?
It stays fresh for 1–2 months if stored properly.
Can I use it on my face?
Use with caution — clove can be strong. Avoid around the eyes.
