Peppermint

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.
