- Description
Peppermint Essential Oil - Mentha piperita is fresh, intensely minty essential oil with a cool, crisp aroma and naturally invigorating character. Steam distilled from the leaves of the peppermint plant, it offers a bright, refreshing scent profile with clean herbal notes and a sharp menthol finish.
Widely used in soaps, candles, wax melts, diffusers, massage blends, bath products, and cosmetic formulations, Peppermint Essential Oil is ideal for adding a cooling, uplifting fragrance to handmade products. Its strong aroma means only a small amount is needed to create a noticeable minty freshness.
Perfect for aromatherapy-style blends, peppermint pairs beautifully with eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, lemon, tea tree, spearmint, and other citrus or herbal oils.
