Peppermint
"The Wyndmere peppermint essential oil is great. I like to diffuse it along with lemongrass, so refreshing. Used to buy another brand higher priced oil, Wyndmere is just as good!"
Highlight: The workspace and workout classic. Cool, crisp, mentholated.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) delivers the unmistakable cool, crisp, mentholated aroma that makes it one of the most instantly recognizable - and best-selling - oils in aromatherapy. Steam distilled from peppermint leaves and naturally high in menthol, this pure essential oil is the go-to for morning diffusion, post-workout body rituals, focus-forward workspace atmosphere, and DIY cooling body care. Sharper and more penetrating than Spearmint, brighter than Rosemary - the mint that wakes you up.
