Description
Peppermint Oil is very intense and is far more concentrated than most other steam distilled essential oils. At low dilutions, it is fresh, minty and quite uplifting.
Ps: If you find Peppermint Oil to be a bit too intense, you may enjoy working with Spearmint Oil.
Peppermint Essential Oil contains menthol. Menthol induces a cooling sensation, and use of Peppermint Oil (at low dilution) in a body mist or even in the diffuser can help to cool you down.
Emotionally, Peppermint Essential Oil is stimulating and is a good choice for inclusion in blends intended to help enhance alertness and stamina.

- recommend a maximum dermal use level of 5.4% (Tisserand Institute)
- poses a higher risk of causing irritation and sensitization when used undiluted or in a bath (even solubilised/diluted)
