What it is
Clove bud oil comes from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, the same cloves found in kitchen spice jars. The buds are picked before they bloom, dried and then steamed to release the oil.
Why Nail Defender uses it
The brand describes clove oil as rich in natural compounds with warming properties, and says it supports a clean, balanced skin environment. It sits next to undecylenic acid on the surface side of the formula.*
What you will notice
A warm, spicy scent that softens as the spray dries. It blends with the floral note of lavender flower oil.
Where cloves grow
Clove trees thrive in warm, humid places such as Indonesia, Madagascar and Zanzibar, where they have been grown for hundreds of years.
Tip: spray from a few inches away so the mist covers the whole nail and its edges.
