Who should clove oil be avoided on?

Individuals with acne
Pregnant women or clients with sensitive skin
Clients with dry skin
Individuals with oily skin

The correct answer is: Pregnant women or clients with sensitive skin

Clove oil should be specifically avoided on pregnant women or clients with sensitive skin due to its potent nature and potential for irritation. Clove oil contains eugenol, which can be quite strong and may lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation, especially in those with already sensitive skin. Moreover, during pregnancy, certain essential oils can have adverse effects or unknown impacts on fetal development, making it prudent to avoid clove oil in these situations. While clove oil might seem beneficial for acne by its antibacterial properties, those with dry skin may also tolerate it if used correctly. However, the heightened risks associated with sensitive skin and pregnancy take precedence, thus making this option the most appropriate answer.
