Social media often refers to homemade clove oil blends as “collagen oil” and claims they can make a 50-year-old look 20 years younger. While cloves contain antioxidant compounds and  body oils help moisturize the skin, there is no topical oil that can  create collagen or erase wrinkles in 30 days.

However, a gentle clove-infused  body oil can leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and well-moisturized.

Can Oil Increase Collagen?

Not directly.

Collagen is a protein produced naturally by your skin. While moisturizing oils improve the skin’s appearance by reducing dryness and supporting the skin barrier, they cannot replace lost collagen or dramatically reverse aging.

Ingredients

• 1 cup baby oil or a lightweight carrier oil (such as sweet almond oil or jojoba oil)
• 2 tablespoons whole cloves
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional, for antioxidant content)
