Product Description
Peppermint Black Mitcham Essential Oil is a premium-grade oil steam-distilled from the whole plant of the dark-leaved Black Mitcham variety—unlike the more common white-leaf varieties. Rich in natural menthol (30–60%), it delivers an intense, refreshing minty scent and a cooling sensation in skincare and oral-care formulations.
Highly versatile, this oil is ideal for both cosmetic and culinary applications, offering a bold, invigorating aroma and functional benefits. Whether you're crafting skincare, formulating toothpaste, or blending a mint-forward fragrance, Peppermint Black Mitcham stands out for its purity and potency.
When diffused, it fills any space with a crisp, revitalising scent that promotes mental clarity and calm. Use it to refresh the air, soothe the senses, or enhance your wellness rituals.
Explore our full mint oil range—each carefully selected for quality and performance across natural beauty and food products.

Frequently asked questions
What is Black Mitcham peppermint oil?
It is steam distilled peppermint oil (INCI: Mentha Piperita Oil) from the Black Mitcham variety, the heritage English peppermint named after Mitcham in Surrey. It is prized by perfumers and flavourists as a benchmark for rounded, high-quality peppermint.
What does Black Mitcham peppermint smell like compared with other peppermint oils?
It is intensely fresh and cooling but notably sweeter, smoother and more rounded than standard Indian or American peppermint, with a soft herbal, slightly creamy depth. Corn mint (Mentha arvensis) is sharper and more menthol-heavy.
Where does it come from and can it be used in food?
It comes from peppermint of English origin. It is Kosher certified and suitable as a food flavouring under EU 1334/2008 (FEMA 2848), making it a premium choice for confectionery, chocolate and oral care.
What pack sizes and safety documents are available?
From 100 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. SDS, IFRA certificate, EU allergens and food allergens declarations and typical GC are available; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
