Mix cloves with petroleum jelly: a secret no one will ever tell you. Thank me later. – Page 6

Melt the Base: Place the petroleum jelly into a heat-safe bowl over a small pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) over low heat until melted and liquid. 🫖
Add Whole Cloves: Stir 2 tablespoons of whole cloves into the liquid petroleum jelly. 🪵
Gentle Warm Infusion: Keep on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the heat to release the aromatic essence and oils from the cloves into the melted base. ⏲️
Strain & Pour: Carefully strain out the whole cloves using a fine strainer (or leave them submerged inside the container for decorative infusion) and pour the warm liquid into your clean glass jar. 🏺
Cool & Solidify: Allow the jar to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until fully cooled and solidified back into a firm, creamy balm. 🧊
Apply & Enjoy: Massage a small quantity onto dry heels, knees, or elbows as needed for deeply hydrated, smooth skin! 🧦🧴✨
