Peppermint Organic Essential Oil (Mentha piperita)

Organic peppermint essential oil (Mentha × piperita) is the essence of freshness and mental clarity. Steam distilled from the leaves and flowers of organically grown peppermint in Greece, it boasts a balanced, harmonious aroma, suitable for skin and daily aromatherapy. It has refreshing, stimulating, and soothing properties—ideal for inhalation, massage, and support for digestive ailments or muscle tension.

Peppermint is a natural hybrid of two species: water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). This combination gives it an exceptionally strong, cooling aroma, rich in menthol and menthone, which are responsible for its refreshing, cleansing, and analgesic properties.
