Clove Oil used in Nail Defender

What Clove Oil is and its role in Nail Defender

Clove oil is steam-distilled from the dried flower buds of the clove tree. Its warm, spicy aroma comes mainly from eugenol, which is why clove has long been a pantry and dental-cabinet staple.

In Nail Defender, Clove Oil adds a botanical note and supports undecylenic acid in the clean-surface part of the formula.

Using Nail Defender with Clove Oil: a quick note

Clove oil is strong. Try a drop of the spray on a small patch of skin first, especially if your skin is sensitive, and stop using it if it stings or reddens.
