If you enjoy simple homemade beauty recipes, this video shows an unusual Sesame Seed + Clove + Baby Oil infusion intended for an evening beauty routine.
The preparation is straightforward: white sesame seeds and whole cloves are placed in a bowl, then baby oil is poured over them to create an infused moisturizing oil. The video promotes it with a dramatic “No Botox” hook, but the realistic value of this recipe is mainly as a rich skin-softening and moisture-sealing body oil.
The basic formula is:
White Sesame Seeds + Whole Cloves + Baby Oil → Infuse → Strain → Apply
🌿 Ingredients
Based on what is visible in the video, you’ll need:
- ½ cup white sesame seeds
- 8–12 whole cloves
- ½–¾ cup baby oil, or enough to completely cover the ingredients
- Clean, dry glass jar or bowl
- Clean spoon
- Fine strainer
- Clean, dry bottle for storage
The exact quantities aren’t measured in the video, so these amounts are a practical starting point for a small homemade batch.
🥣 How to Make Sesame + Clove Beauty Oil
Step 1 – Add the Sesame Seeds
Place approximately ½ cup of white sesame seeds into a completely clean and dry glass container.
The video uses a generous layer of sesame seeds as the base of the recipe.
There’s no need to grind them.
🌿 Step 2 – Add Whole Cloves
Scatter approximately 8–12 whole cloves over the sesame seeds.
Keep the cloves whole rather than crushing them into powder.
This will make the finished oil easier to strain and prevents coarse particles from being rubbed against the skin.
🍼 Step 3 – Pour in the Baby Oil
Pour baby oil directly over the sesame seeds and cloves, as demonstrated in the video.
Continue until the ingredients are completely surrounded by oil.
You may need approximately ½–¾ cup, depending on the size and shape of your container.
🥄 Step 4 – Stir Everything Together
Gently stir the mixture with a clean, dry spoon.
Make sure the:
Sesame Seeds + Cloves + Baby Oil
are thoroughly combined.
Because this is an oil infusion, don’t add water.
⏳ Step 5 – Allow the Mixture to Infuse
Transfer the mixture to a clean jar if necessary and close it tightly.
Let the ingredients sit in the oil so the preparation can infuse.
Store the closed container somewhere cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight.
Gently rotate or shake the jar occasionally.
🧺 Step 6 – Strain the Oil
Before using the preparation regularly, strain away the sesame seeds and cloves.
Pour everything through a fine strainer and collect only the infused oil.
This produces a much smoother product for application.
🫙 Step 7 – Transfer to a Clean Bottle
Pour the strained beauty oil into a clean, completely dry bottle.
Close the lid tightly.
Your homemade Sesame Seed + Clove Beauty Oil is now ready to use.
🌙 How to Use It
This type of recipe makes the most sense as a body moisturizing oil, particularly after bathing.
After showering:
1. Gently pat your skin dry.
2. Leave the skin slightly damp.
3. Take a small amount of the infused oil.
4. Massage gently over dry areas.
5. Allow it to absorb before dressing.
Using an oil on slightly damp skin can help reduce moisture loss.
🤲 Where Can You Apply It?
Try it primarily on dry areas such as:
- Arms
- Legs
- Hands
- Elbows
- Knees
- Heels
Because cloves can be irritating and facial skin is more sensitive, I would be more cautious about using this homemade infusion over the entire face.
✨ What Are the Potential Benefits?
💧 1. Helps Seal Moisture Into the Skin
Baby oil provides the main moisturizing effect of this recipe.
It forms a lightweight occlusive layer over the skin, helping slow down moisture evaporation.
This is especially useful immediately after a shower.
✨ 2. Helps Dry Skin Feel Softer
Dry skin can become rough and uncomfortable.
An oil-based treatment helps coat the surface and may leave the skin feeling:
Softer → Smoother → More Supple
🌱 3. Sesame Seeds Provide Plant Lipids and Antioxidant Compounds
Sesame seeds naturally contain unsaturated fats along with plant compounds such as sesamin and sesamolin.
However, because this recipe uses whole sesame seeds infused in baby oil rather than pressed sesame oil, you shouldn’t assume that all of the nutrients found in whole sesame seeds transfer efficiently into the finished oil.
The main practical moisturizing ingredient remains the baby oil.
🌿 4. Cloves Add Aromatic Botanical Compounds
Cloves naturally contain eugenol, the compound largely responsible for their characteristic aroma.
This provides the botanical element of the infusion.
Cloves are potent, though, which is why a mild preparation and patch testing are important.
🌟 5. Can Make Dry Skin Look More Radiant
Oil creates a subtle sheen over the skin and helps reduce the dull appearance associated with dryness.
Well-moisturized skin may temporarily look:
Smoother + More Supple + More Radiant
This is a cosmetic moisturizing effect rather than permanent wrinkle removal.
👩🦳 6. Useful for Dry or Mature-Looking Skin
Skin can become progressively drier with age.
An oil-based moisturizing step can therefore be useful when dealing with:
Dryness • Roughness • Tightness • Flakiness • Dull-looking skin
🌙 How to Use It as a Night Treatment
For particularly dry skin, use the oil before bed.
Try:
Clean Skin → Body Moisturizer → Thin Layer of Beauty Oil
Your moisturizer provides hydration and emollients, while the oil helps create a final moisture-sealing layer.
Think of it as:
HYDRATE → MOISTURIZE → SEAL
You don’t need a large amount.
A few drops can cover a surprisingly large area.
📅 How Often Should You Use It?
Because the recipe contains cloves, start conservatively.
Try:
2–3 times per week
on a limited area.
If your skin tolerates it comfortably, you can adjust the frequency according to how dry your skin feels.
💡 Tips for Better Results
Apply after showering
Slightly damp skin is an excellent time to apply body oil because there’s already water on the skin that the oil can help retain.
Strain the solids
Don’t use the sesame seeds or cloves as a rough body or facial scrub.
Strain them away and apply only the oil.
Make a small batch
There’s little benefit in preparing a huge quantity.
Small batches are easier to keep clean and allow you to see whether your skin actually likes the recipe.
Keep water out
Use only clean, dry utensils and containers.
Water introduced into DIY preparations can complicate storage and microbial safety.
🫙 Storage
Transfer the strained oil into a:
Clean + Completely Dry + Tightly Closed Bottle
Keep it somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat.
If you notice an unusual change in:
Smell • Appearance • Texture
discard the batch.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes
Both sesame and cloves can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible people.
Sesame in particular is a recognized food allergen, so anyone with a known sesame allergy should avoid this recipe.
Cloves can also irritate sensitive skin because of their naturally occurring aromatic compounds.
Always patch test first.
Apply a tiny amount to a small area and discontinue use if you experience:
- Burning
- Persistent redness
- Itching
- Swelling
- Rash
- Other irritation
Avoid the eyes, broken skin, and already irritated areas.
Also, don’t replace the whole cloves with concentrated clove essential oil without an appropriately formulated and diluted cosmetic recipe.
