Why Cloves and Petroleum Jelly?
- Cloves are rich in aromatic compounds (especially eugenol), giving them a strong, warm scent and natural protective properties.
- Petroleum jelly is an excellent moisture barrier. It locks in hydration, protects the skin, and carries infused ingredients well.
When combined, cloves slowly release their aroma and properties into the jelly, creating a long-lasting, multi-purpose balm.
How to Make Clove-Infused Petroleum Jelly
You’ll need:
- 1–2 tablespoons petroleum jelly
- 1–2 teaspoons whole cloves (or ½ teaspoon ground cloves)
Method:
- Gently warm the petroleum jelly using a double boiler or microwave (low heat).
- Add the cloves and stir well.
- Let the mixture simmer on very low heat for 10–15 minutes (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
- Strain out the cloves if you prefer a smooth balm.
- Store in a clean, airtight container.
That’s it—your infused balm is ready.
Smart Ways to Use This Mixture
1. Dry Skin & Cuticle Care
Apply a tiny amount to cracked cuticles, heels, or elbows. The jelly seals in moisture while the cloves add a comforting scent.
2. Lip Protection (Occasional Use)
In cold or windy weather, a light layer can help prevent dryness. Use sparingly and discontinue if irritation occurs.
