Hurix’s Clove Oil Plus Cream

Hurix’s Clove Oil Plus Cream is a topical herbal cream from the Hurix’s brand, supplied in a 13g tube for external application to the skin. It is formulated with clove oil, menthol, methyl salicylate, camphor and eucalyptus oil in a cream base.

This product is sold as an OTC (Over-the-Counter) item, meaning it can be purchased directly from a pharmacy or online without needing a doctor’s prescription. Because of some inconsistency in how this exact product is described across sources, buyers who want confirmation of its precise registered use should check the printed product information on the physical pack or speak with a pharmacist before use.

The cream has a characteristic clove-and-menthol scent from its essential oil content and is supplied in a small, travel-friendly tube. It is intended for external application to intact skin only, and given its ingredients, should not be applied inside the mouth or to other mucous membranes.

Wash and dry the area of skin before use.

Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area of skin and massage in gently until absorbed.

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after application, unless the hands themselves are the area being treated.

Do not apply inside the mouth, on the lips, in the eyes, or on other mucous membranes.

For adults: apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area of skin 2 to 3 times daily, or as needed.

Not recommended for children unless a pharmacist or doctor has specifically advised it.

If skin discomfort continues after about 7 days of regular use, stop self-treating and speak with a pharmacist or doctor.

Use the cream before the expiry date printed on the tube and outer carton.

Once opened, use within a reasonable period and check for any change in colour, smell, or texture before each use.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Keep the tube cap tightly closed between uses.

Keep out of reach and sight of children.

• Common: a warm or tingling sensation on the skin shortly after application.
• Common: mild, temporary redness at the site of application.
• Serious: an allergic skin reaction such as itching, swelling, blistering, or a rash spreading beyond the applied area — stop use and seek medical attention if this occurs.
• Serious: irritation, numbness, or a burning sensation if the cream contacts the eyes, mouth or other mucous membranes — rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation does not settle.

• Do not apply inside the mouth, on the lips, in the eyes, in the nose, or on other mucous membranes.
• Do not use on broken, cracked, or wounded skin.
• Do not use if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to clove oil, menthol, methyl salicylate, camphor, eucalyptus oil, or any other listed ingredient.
• Not recommended for use in children unless specifically advised by a pharmacist or doctor.

• No clinically significant food interactions have been reported for topical use of this cream.
• Avoid combining with other topical products containing methyl salicylate, camphor, or menthol on the same area of skin, as this can increase the risk of irritation.
• People using an oral or topical anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medicine should be cautious about applying methyl salicylate-containing creams over large areas of skin, and should check with a pharmacist first.

• Do a small patch test on an inconspicuous area of skin before first use if your skin is sensitive.
• Apply a thin layer only — a small amount goes a long way with concentrated essential-oil formulas like this one.
• Keep the tube away from open flame or direct heat, as it contains essential oils.
• Wash your hands after applying the cream to avoid accidentally transferring it to your eyes or mouth.
• Close the tube cap firmly after each use to keep the cream from drying out.
• If you are unsure exactly what this product is intended for, check the printed information on your physical pack or ask a pharmacist before use.

Precautions: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should check with a pharmacist or doctor before using this cream, as topical products containing methyl salicylate are generally used with caution during pregnancy. People with very sensitive or broken skin, young children, and anyone with a known fragrance or salicylate allergy should take extra care or avoid use. This product should not be applied inside the mouth or to mucous membranes.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Speak to a pharmacist before purchase if you need confirmation of exactly what this product is intended for, as some product listings for this item have described it differently. See a doctor or pharmacist if you notice a skin reaction such as blistering, spreading redness, or severe itching after applying the cream, or if you are looking for a specific treatment for mouth ulcers, tooth pain, or another oral condition, as a different, purpose-made product would be more appropriate for those.
