What Is Peppermint Essential Oil?

Peppermint essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract steam-distilled from the leaves of the peppermint plant (Mentha piperita). Naturally aromatic, it contains compounds such as menthol and menthone, which give it its distinctive cooling sensation and fresh, minty scent.

In cosmetic formulations, peppermint essential oil is valued for its invigorating feel, naturally purifying properties, and deodorising freshness, helping to create products that leave skin and body feeling awakened and refreshed.
