Product Description
Explore our extensive range of Mint oils to find the perfect menthol-infused addition to your formulations. Whether for culinary or cosmetic purposes, Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) offers a delightful menthol kick with a fresh, penetrating minty aroma and a menthol content of approx. 35% (typical GC). Menthol, a naturally occurring compound abundant in these oils, creates a refreshing, cooling sensation in oral-care and skincare formulations. Consider infusing it in one of our seed oils, such as Sunflower Oil, to tailor both cost and aroma profiles to your needs.

Menthol and menthone, from steam distillation of the whole plant. A typical GC analysis is available on request.
Can it be used for food or flavour?
