Frequently asked questions
What is organic peppermint Mentha piperita oil?
It is the organic grade of true peppermint oil (INCI: Mentha Piperita Oil), steam distilled from the whole flowering plant. Mentha piperita is the classic peppermint used in oral care and confectionery, distinct from the cheaper corn mint, Mentha arvensis.
What does it smell like and how does it differ from Mentha arvensis?
It has a fresh, sweet, intensely minty and cooling scent with a soft herbal depth. Mentha arvensis smells sharper and more harshly menthol, so piperita is preferred when you want a rounder, more natural peppermint profile.
Where does it come from and can it be used in food?
It comes from peppermint of Indian origin. It can be used for food and flavour applications (FEMA 2848), but if your end product is a food, contact us first so we can confirm the batch meets the necessary food standards.
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 are available; use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category.
