Clove Turmeric Baby Oil Collagen Cream: Zero Wrinkles, Zero Age Spots

December 11, 2025 Written by GP Team

As we age, skin gradually loses collagen, leading to fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. While no DIY cream can literally give “zero wrinkles”, a consistent routine with the right ingredients can visibly soften lines, brighten dark patches and keep the skin plump and moisturised.

This collagen-style cream uses:

  • Clove – rich in eugenol, known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

  • Turmeric – famous for its anti-inflammatory, brightening and spot-fading effects.

  • Baby oil (mineral oil-based) – forms an occlusive layer that helps lock in moisture and soften dry skin.

We’ll pair these with a gentle base (aloe vera or glycerine), plus vitamin E and a small amount of carrier oil to create a rich, glow-boosting nightly treatment.

Ingredients Required

For one small jar of Clove Turmeric Baby Oil Collagen Cream, you’ll need:

  • 1 tablespoon Johnson’s baby oil (or any gentle, unscented baby oil)

  • 1 tablespoon cold-pressed coconut oil (adds extra nourishment and helps soften lines)

  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (pure, colourless, no added fragrance)

  • ½ teaspoon glycerine (for deep hydration and plumpness)

  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder (pure, kitchen turmeric – not “kumkum”)

  • ¼ teaspoon finely ground clove or ½ teaspoon clove-infused oil (for antioxidant and warming effect)

  • 1–2 vitamin E capsules (squeeze out the oil)

  • 2–3 drops rose water or distilled water (optional, to slightly lighten the texture)

  • Clean small glass jar with lid (for storing the cream)

You can easily find all these ingredients in most Indian households or local supermarkets/pharmacies.

Procedure

  1. Make clove base (optional but effective)

    • Lightly crush 4–5 cloves.

    • Add them to 1 tablespoon coconut oil.

    • Warm this mixture using a double boiler (keep flame very low) for 5–7 minutes, then switch off the heat.

    • Let it steep and cool completely, then strain to get clove-infused coconut oil.

  2. Prepare the base cream

    • In a clean bowl, add:

      • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel

      • ½ teaspoon glycerine

    • Whisk with a small spoon or spatula until it looks smooth and slightly frothy.

  3. Add the oils

    • Add:

      • 1 tablespoon baby oil

      • 1 tablespoon clove-infused coconut oil (or plain coconut oil + ¼ teaspoon very finely ground clove)

    • Mix well to combine into a creamy, lotion-like texture.

  4. Add turmeric and vitamin E

    • Sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder.

    • Pierce 1–2 vitamin E capsules and squeeze the oil into the mixture.

    • Stir thoroughly so there are no lumps of turmeric.

  5. Adjust texture

    • If the cream feels too thick, add 2–3 drops of rose water or distilled water and whisk again.

    • You’re aiming for a smooth, creamy, easily spreadable consistency.

  6. Transfer & store

    • Pour the final cream into a small sanitized glass jar.

    • Close the lid tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.

    • Use within 2–3 weeks and always use a clean spoon or spatula to take the product out.

Instructions for Use

  • Patch test first

    • Apply a tiny amount on the inner arm or behind the ear.

    • Wait 24 hours to check for redness, itching or burning. If irritation occurs, do not use on face.

  • When to apply

    • Best used as a night cream, 3–4 times a week.

    • Turmeric can stain slightly and baby oil is occlusive, so nighttime application works best.

  • How to apply

    • Cleanse your face and pat dry.

    • If you use a water-based serum or toner, apply that first and let it absorb.

    • Take a pea-sized amount of the collagen cream on your fingertips.

    • Dot on forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

    • Gently massage in upward, circular motions, focusing on:

      • Forehead lines

      • Crow’s feet area (avoid very close to eyes)

      • Laugh lines

      • Areas with age spots

  • For dry or mature skin

    • You can apply a slightly generous layer on very dry areas like cheeks and jawline.

    • Avoid layering with many other heavy oils in the same routine to prevent clogged pores.

  • For oily or acne-prone skin

    • Use very sparingly and only on dry/aging areas (e.g., laugh lines, under-eye perimeter – not too close to eyes).

    • Avoid active pimples or very oily T-zone.

  • Morning care

    • Wash your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning to remove any turmeric tint and oil residue.

    • Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you’re going out, as sun exposure worsens age spots and wrinkles.

Benefits of the DIY

  • Helps soften fine lines & wrinkles

    • Deeply nourishes dry and mature skin with baby oil, coconut oil and vitamin E.

    • Massage improves microcirculation and gives a plump, smoother appearance to the skin.

  • Targets age spots & uneven tone

    • Turmeric helps in reducing the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation over time.

    • Clove’s antioxidant properties support a more even, brighter complexion.

  • Boosts glow & radiance

    • Aloe vera + glycerine attract and hold moisture, giving an instant dewy, glass-skin look.

    • Regular use makes skin feel softer, bouncier and more luminous.

  • Protects skin barrier

    • Baby oil forms a protective layer on top of the skin, preventing moisture loss.

    • Coconut oil and vitamin E nourish the barrier, making skin less prone to dryness and rough texture.

  • Soothes and calms (for non-sensitive skin)

    • Aloe vera provides a cooling and soothing base.

    • When used in small amounts, turmeric and clove can support skin health with their traditional anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

  • Cost-effective anti-ageing support

    • Uses simple, kitchen-friendly ingredients.

    • You can make fresh batches frequently and adjust thickness, fragrance (via rose water) and intensity as per your skin’s comfort.

Important Notes

  • This cream is not a substitute for dermatological treatment or prescription creams.

  • People with very sensitive skin, rosacea, eczema or strong fragrance allergies should be extra cautious or avoid clove and scented baby oils.

  • If you experience burning, stinging or persistent redness, wash off immediately and discontinue use.

Used consistently as part of a night routine, this Clove Turmeric Baby Oil Collagen Cream can become a pampering, glow-boosting home ritual that supports smoother, brighter, youthful-looking skin.
