This homemade Clove + Baby Oil Beauty Oil is a simple two-ingredient skincare recipe shown in the video. The recipe combines whole cloves with baby oil, allowing the cloves to infuse into the oil before the mixture is used as part of a nighttime beauty routine.

The video calls this mixture “Botox Oil,” but a more practical way to think about it is as a rich clove-infused moisturizing body/beauty oil. Its main purpose is to help dry skin feel softer, smoother, and more moisturized.

Here is the complete guide based on the preparation shown in the video.

🌿 Ingredients

The recipe uses two main ingredients:

• Whole cloves
• Baby oil

For a small batch, you can start with approximately:

• 1–2 tablespoons whole cloves
• ½ cup baby oil

You will also need:

• A clean, completely dry glass jar
• Clean spoon
• Fine strainer
• Clean bottle or jar for storage

The video also shows a small bowl containing an orange/yellow powder in the background, but it isn’t clearly added during the visible preparation. For that reason, I wouldn’t include it as an ingredient unless the original recipe specifically identifies it.

🥣 How to Make Clove + Baby Oil

Step 1 – Prepare the Cloves

Start with whole dried cloves.

Place approximately 1–2 tablespoons into a clean and completely dry glass jar.

There’s no need to grind the cloves into powder. The video keeps them whole throughout the infusion.

🍼 Step 2 – Add Baby Oil

Pour approximately ½ cup of baby oil into the jar.

Add enough oil to completely surround and cover the cloves.

The cloves may initially float throughout the oil before gradually settling toward the bottom.

🥄 Step 3 – Mix the Ingredients

Gently stir the cloves and baby oil together with a clean, dry spoon.

The basic recipe is simply:

Whole Cloves + Baby Oil

No water is needed.

Keeping water out of the jar is important because this is an oil-based preparation.

🫙 Step 4 – Close the Jar

Close the container tightly.

Allowing the cloves to remain in the oil creates a simple clove-infused baby oil.

Over time, the oil may gradually pick up some of the characteristic aroma and color of the cloves.

⏳ Step 5 – Allow It to Infuse

Rather than using it immediately, allow the cloves some time to sit in the oil.

A practical homemade method is to prepare the jar and leave it in a cool, dark place while the cloves infuse.

Gently shake or rotate the closed jar occasionally.

🧺 Step 6 – Strain the Oil

Before regular application, strain out the whole cloves using a fine strainer.

Pour the finished infused oil into a clean, dry bottle.

This gives you a much easier product to apply without pieces of cloves coming into contact with the skin.

🌙 How to Use Clove + Baby Oil

The video presents this recipe as an evening beauty treatment.

For body use, apply a small amount after bathing or showering, ideally while the skin still has a little moisture on it.

Massage the oil gently over dry areas using circular motions.

A simple routine is:

Clean Skin → Moisturizer if needed → Small Amount of Clove-Infused Baby Oil

You don’t need to completely cover the skin in oil.

A thin layer is enough.

🤲 Where Can You Apply It?

Because baby oil is a rich emollient product, this type of preparation may be especially useful on dry areas such as:

• Hands
• Arms
• Legs
• Elbows
• Knees
• Heels

Facial skin can be more reactive to clove compounds, so extra caution and patch testing are important before considering facial application.

✨ Benefits of the Recipe

💧 1. Helps Reduce Dryness

Baby oil is commonly used to soften dry skin and help reduce moisture loss.

Applying it after bathing can help maintain the skin’s comfortable, moisturized feel.

✨ 2. Helps Skin Feel Softer

The emollient oil creates a smooth layer over the surface of the skin.

Regular application to dry areas can leave the skin feeling:

Softer → Smoother → More Supple

🌿 3. Provides a Clove-Infused Botanical Oil

Cloves naturally contain aromatic compounds, including eugenol.

Infusing whole cloves into the carrier oil gives this otherwise simple moisturizing oil its distinctive botanical component.

🌟 4. Helps Dry Skin Look Smoother

Dryness can make skin texture more visible.

Once the skin is moisturized and coated with an emollient oil, it may temporarily appear:

Smoother + More Supple + More Radiant

🌙 5. Easy Overnight Moisturizing Treatment

The oil can be particularly convenient at night because you can massage a small amount onto dry areas before bed and allow it to remain on the skin overnight.

👩‍🦳 6. Useful for Dry or Mature-Looking Skin

Skin often becomes drier with age, so an oil-based moisturizing step can be useful for areas that need additional softness.

The recipe is mainly aimed at helping with:

Dryness • Roughness • Loss of softness • Dull-looking dry skin

📅 How Often to Use It

Because cloves can be strong, start conservatively.

Try the preparation 2–3 times per week on a small area first.

If your skin tolerates it comfortably, you can adjust usage according to your skin’s needs.

There’s no need to use a large amount each time.

💡 Tips for Better Results

For moisturizing purposes, one of the best times to apply an oil is after bathing.

Pat your skin gently so it remains slightly damp, then massage a small amount of oil over the desired area.

This creates a simple:

Hydrate → Moisturize → Seal

approach.

For very dry skin, you can also apply your normal moisturizer first and use a little of the oil afterward.

🫙 Storage

Keep the finished oil in a:

Clean + Completely Dry + Tightly Closed Bottle

Store it away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Make relatively small batches rather than preparing a very large jar.

If the oil develops an unusual smell, appearance, or other noticeable change, discard it.

⚠️ Important Note About Cloves

Cloves contain potent aromatic compounds and may irritate sensitive skin.

Always perform a patch test before widespread use.

Apply a tiny amount to a small area and watch for redness, itching, burning, swelling, or other irritation.

Don’t apply the oil to:

Eyes • Eyelids • Broken Skin • Irritated Skin

And don’t replace the whole cloves with concentrated clove essential oil simply to make the recipe stronger. Essential oil is significantly more concentrated.

✨ Final Thoughts

This Clove + Baby Oil Beauty Oil is one of the simplest recipes to prepare because the basic formula contains only:

Whole Cloves + Baby Oil

The cloves are infused into the oil, while the baby oil provides the main moisturizing and skin-softening effect.

Despite the video’s catchy “Botox Oil” name, the most useful purpose of this recipe is as a rich moisturizing oil for softer, smoother-feeling dry skin rather than as a substitute for injectable Botox.

Prepare a small batch, strain the cloves before regular use, apply only a little at a time, and always patch test first.
