Peppermint Essential Oil Steam Distilled 50ml

Cool, green and immediately bright, this peppermint essential oil brings a clean menthol freshness to an oil burner, diffuser blend or diluted body oil. It is steam distilled from the flowering herb of Mentha piperita, giving the aroma its crisp, leafy character without added sweetness.

A crisp peppermint scent

• The first impression is sharp and cooling, like crushed mint leaves between the fingers.
• Its herbal freshness feels clear and direct, rather than soft, floral or resinous.
• Used in a room scent blend, a little brings a brisk, clean edge to the air.
• It suits morning rituals, desk-side scenting and moments when you want the atmosphere to feel freshly opened.
• Its bright profile pairs naturally with citrus, rosemary, eucalyptus or lavender in simple aromatherapy blends.

Steam distilled from flowering peppermint herb

This oil is made from the flowering herb of Mentha piperita using steam distillation. That method carries the aromatic compounds from the plant into a concentrated essential oil, preserving the cool, menthol-rich character peppermint is known for.

How to use it with care

Add a small amount to an oil burner or diffuser according to your device instructions. For massage or body use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Keep essential oils away from eyes, mucous membranes, children and pets. Avoid use during pregnancy, around babies or with sensitive skin unless guided by a qualified professional.

Peppermint in tradition

Peppermint has a long cultural history across the Mediterranean and beyond, appearing in accounts from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and Japan. The name is linked in Greek myth to Mentha, a nymph associated with the mint plant. Roman writer Pliny also described mint being used in garlands at feasts, where its fresh scent belonged to the table as much as the garden. Today, peppermint remains one of the most recognisable aromatic herbs, valued in perfumery and home scenting for its clean, green clarity.
