Properties and Action of Clove Extract
Clove extract is characterized by the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoid derivatives, which are responsible for its antioxidant activity and ability to reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress. Consequently, this raw material is used in formulations that support skin protection against environmental factors.
In cosmetic products, clove extract exhibits:
- purifying and skin-balancing properties,
- regulating properties, essential in the care of oily and problematic skin,
- support for maintaining a healthy microenvironment of the skin and scalp,
- supportive action in formulations intended for cleansing and toning products.
The extract’s action profile makes it a functional ingredient in formulations where a combination of protective and regulating activity is desired.

- creams and emulsions for face and body care,
- toners and serums with purifying and balancing effects,
