Peppermint Essential Oil | Cooling, Refreshing & Stimulating

Peppermint Essential Oil is extracted from Mentha piperita, the world's most well-known and widely used mint species. Peppermint is a natural hybrid of Mentha spicata (spearmint) and Mentha aquatica (water mint). The plant grows up to approximately 90 centimetres tall and is recognised by its serrated leaves, lilac flowers, and intensely fresh aroma.

The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the entire plant. Thanks to its naturally high menthol content, Peppermint Essential Oil is renowned for its cooling, refreshing, and invigorating qualities. It is widely used in aromatherapy, oral care products, food flavourings, and a variety of fragrance applications.
