MINT OIL

DESCRIPTION:

Mint oil, often referred to as peppermint oil, is an essential oil extracted from the peppermint plant (Mentha × piperita), and is known for its aromatic and flavorful leaves. The oil is obtained through a process called steam distillation, where steam is passed through the plant material, causing the essential oil to evaporate.

It is soluble in alcohol and can be diluted with carrier oils for various applications. Peppermint oil is used in a range of products, including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and even in the food and beverage industry for flavouring.

Widely known for wide multiple usages and benefits, this oil will surely be a great addition to your wellness routine.
