Our organically crafted Peppermint essential oil is steam distilled from fresh, luscious green leaves of the fragrant Mentha x piperita plant, grown in rich green fields of rural USA. Peppermint Essential Oil has the aroma of the living plant - wonderfully fresh, cool, green-herbaceous, strongly minty with a powerful menthol and sweet balsamic undertone - which can be used for both aromatherapy and natural perfumery.
True peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is thought to be a hybrid of two other species of Mentha: water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata) and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. A high menthol content - as found in our Peppermint Oil - distinguishes the best quality Peppermint from other products.
The main ingredient of peppermint is menthol, a powerful compound that itself causes a rapid physical response when inhaled or applied to the skin. It produces a feeling of coolness that the body counteracts by increasing blood flow to the area of application, creating a warming effect. Menthol is used liberally in candies, breath fresheners and beverages, but is also used as a cooling agent in popular over-the-counter muscle and joint preparations.
