About the Oil:
This organic peppermint essential oil is steam‑distilled from the whole herb and sourced from India. Mentha piperita is a perennial hybrid mint that spreads through underground rhizomes and thrives in diverse growing conditions.
Peppermint’s name traces back to Greek mythology: the nymph Minthe was transformed into a small plant by Persephone, and Pluto ensured she would be remembered for her fragrant aroma. Today, peppermint remains one of the most widely used essential oils in aromatherapy, natural skincare, soaps, candles, and herbal preparations.
Because of its naturally high menthol content, peppermint oil may crystallize in cooler temperatures. Gently warming the bottle in hot water and agitating will return it to a liquid state.
