Organic Mint Oil
Organic Mint Oil is a crisp, cooling, and invigorating essential oil steam-distilled from the fresh leaves of organically grown mint plants, typically Mentha arvensis or Mentha piperita. Cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, the leaves retain their natural menthol-rich profile, giving the oil its strong, refreshing aroma and powerful sensory effects.
Steam distillation preserves its active compounds, especially menthol and menthone, which make Organic Mint Oil widely used in aromatherapy, oral-care formulations, balms, muscle rubs, cooling gels, soaps, shampoos, and natural household products.
