If you’ve seen the viral “collagen oil” trend featuring cloves and baby oil, here’s a simple version you can make at home. While no homemade oil can guarantee wrinkle prevention or replace your skin’s natural collagen, this blend can work as a rich moisturizing body oil that helps skin feel softer and smoother.

Ingredients

• ½ cup baby oil or fragrance-free mineral oil
• 5–8 whole cloves
• 1 clean glass jar with a lid

How to Make It

Step 1: Place the whole cloves into a clean, completely dry glass jar.

Step 2: Pour the baby oil over the cloves until they are fully covered.

Step 3: Close the jar tightly and let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for about 24–48 hours.

Step 4: Strain out the cloves if you prefer a clear oil, then transfer the infused oil into a clean bottle.

Your DIY clove-infused moisturizing oil is ready to use.

How to Use

After showering, apply a small amount to slightly damp skin and gently massage it in. Baby oil helps lock moisture into the skin, which can make dry areas look smoother and more supple.

It can be especially useful on areas such as:

• Arms and legs
• Hands
• Elbows
• Knees
• Heels and other dry areas

For best results, use only a small amount—a little oil goes a long way.

Why People Love This Combination

Baby oil is commonly made with mineral oil, an occlusive ingredient that forms a protective layer over the skin and helps reduce moisture loss. This can temporarily make dry skin appear smoother and more hydrated.

Cloves naturally contain aromatic compounds such as eugenol, which is why they have such a strong scent. However, cloves can also irritate sensitive skin, so more is definitely not better.

Important Skin-Safety Tip

The viral claim that this mixture is a “collagen oil” or that it can guarantee wrinkle-free skin isn’t scientifically established. Think of it primarily as a DIY moisturizing body oil, not a treatment that rebuilds collagen.

Always perform a patch test first. Apply a tiny amount to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours. Stop using it if you notice burning, redness, itching, or irritation.

Avoid using the mixture around the eyes, on broken skin, or on very sensitive facial skin.

Final Thoughts

Sometimes the simplest beauty routines are the easiest to stick with. This clove and baby oil blend takes only a few ingredients and can leave dry body skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized.
