Peppermint Organic Essential Oil


Average Product Rating: 4.7 / 5 (Based on 18 Customer Reviews)



Main Constituents:
l-menthol: 72.3%

Certified Organics: All of our Certified Organic Essential Oils are from the carefully selected stock at our Head Office in Australia. They are recognized as Certified Organic Processors and their oils have all been certified under the world renowned BFA Organics Standard. Chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers are prohibited. Instead the products are cultivated using traditional farming methods. Soil fertility is built; natural systems are worked with, not against; there is minimal, if any damage to the environment, and most importantly, Mother Nature is being respected.

Botanical Name: Mentha arvensis

Plant Part: Herb

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: India

Description: There are several species of the mentha arvensis perennial herb that can grow to 3 feet in height, spreading due to their underground 'runners'. Peppermint plant has hairy leaves with serrated edges and purple spiked flowers. Peppermint Japanese is known for its high menthol content. It is so high in fact that menthol crystals sometimes form right on the leaves.

Color: Colorless to pale yellow liquid.

Common Uses: Organic Peppermint Essential Oil has long been credited as being useful in combating stomach ailments. It is also viewed as an antispasmodic and antimicrobial agent. Of course, most people will associate it with being a flavoring or scenting agent in foods, beverages, skin and hair care products (where it has a cooling effect by constricting capillaries and helping with bruises and sore joints), as well as soaps and candles.
It should also be noted that the active ingredient Menthol may crystallize in temperatures below 20 degree Celsius. The more menthol present, the greater it’s propensity for altering states. We would recommend placing the bottle in a very hot water bath, changing the water frequently and once it is back to the liquid state be sure to shake before use.

Consistency: Thin

Note: Top

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Basil, Bergamot, Cajeput, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, Marjoram, Niaouli, Pine, Rosemary, Spearmint and Thyme.

Aromatic Scent: Organic Peppermint Essential Oil has a sharp, penetrating mint scent based on its high menthol content. The sweetness of the vapor makes it easy to see why it is such a common flavoring and scenting agent.

History: Peppermint and its name has its roots in Greek mythology. Pluto - god of the dead - fell in love with Minthe, a beautiful nymph. Pluto's goddess wife Persephone became jealous and turned Minthe into a plant. Pluto could not bring her back to life but ensured that she would have a wonderful and fragrant aroma.

Cautions: Organic Peppermint Essential Oil can be sensitizing due to the menthol content. Avoid use during pregnancy.

This doesn't smell at all like peppermint to me. No candy cane feel at all. It smells dirty and musty. It doesn't have any of the sweetness that I love with peppermint. The Japanese one smells better, but I only have that one because of its higher menthol concentration. I was hoping for a true peppermint on this one. It did crystalize when I refridgerated it?? I have never had that before with peppermint. Will not buy again.

I love this peppermint oil, and it works very well. My only issue with the organic peppermint is it's tendency to become solid at 70 degrees (F). I still used it, but I had to warm the bottle each time. Maybe I'm the only one having this problem, and maybe it was just that particular bottle. I've never had this problem with the Peppermint Supreme. I'm still giving this oil 4 stars, because it drops fevers and soothes sore muscles, just like it should. Warming it before each use became quite an annoyance, though.

Great smell. Great therapeutic value. I like diffusing it in combination with Eucalyptus oil during cold and flu season.

Not overly sweet like some peppermints. Just pure peppermint power! Like a candy cane on steroids. My clients have notice a difference since I switch my soap oil from Supreme to the organic variety and love it! Great value for a great product! Keep up the good work ND. GO GREEN!
