The sharpest, cleanest oil in nature.
Mentha piperita - true peppermint - is one of the most recognisable and universally loved essential oils in the world. Sharp, intensely cool and instantly clarifying, one breath of pure peppermint changes your entire mental state in seconds. But not all peppermint is equal. Mentha piperita is true peppermint - distinct from the common field mint oils that
flood the mass market. Cleaner, more balanced and more complex, with a natural menthol content that delivers a genuine cooling sensation without harshness or artificiality.
Ours is steam distilled from fresh Mentha piperita leaves and flowering tops at peak bloom - preserving the full, sharp, cooling aromatic profile that makes this oil so powerful.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Mentha piperita and field mint? Mentha piperita is true peppermint - a natural hybrid of watermint and spearmint with a cleaner, more balanced menthol profile. Field mint (Mentha arvensis) is more commonly used in mass market oils and has a harsher, more one-dimensional scent. Piperita is the preferred therapeutic and aromatic variety.
- Can I apply peppermint oil directly to my temples? Always dilute first. Mix 2-3 drops in 1 teaspoon of carrier oil before applying to temples or neck. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to skin.
- Why should I keep this away from young children's faces? Peppermint's high menthol content can cause breathing discomfort in young children when applied near the face. Keep away from children under 6 entirely.
