Product Description

Peppermint essential oil, steam distilled from the flowering tops of Mentha piperita, is a sharp, cooling mint oil for alertness, tight muscles, and a clean blast of air. Its menthol-rich aroma wakes a room and brings an icy finish to diluted temples, feet, and after-activity rubs.

Peppermint is one of the most recognizable oils in aromatherapy—and for good reason. It yields a thin, pale oil with a crisp menthol scent: sweet at first, then cooling, with a clean herbal brightness that feels instantly familiar. 

Where lavender settles the evening, peppermint opens the day. 

  • Diffused, it freshens still air and helps the mind feel more alert. 

  • Diluted on the skin, it is a classic comfort oil for the temples, the back of the neck, and tired feet after a long afternoon. The sensation is cool rather than heavy, which is why so many people keep a bottle on the desk and another near the door. 

The aroma is a true top note. It rises quickly, fills a space, and leaves behind a rinsed, mint-green freshness. 

A few drops in the diffuser, a light dilution in jojoba for the neck and shoulders, or a simple foot rub at the end of the day is often all that is needed. Peppermint is not a quiet oil. It is clear, useful, and easy to love when it is used with a light hand.

  • For external use only unless directed by a qualified practitioner.

  • Avoid eyes, inner ears, mucous membranes, and broken skin.

  • Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place. Best used within 3–4 years of opening.

How to Use

Always dilute before applying to skin. Patch-test a new bottle. Peppermint is easy to overdo.

Diffuse
Add 2–4 drops to your diffuser. Run 15–20 minutes in a well-ventilated room, then pause. More than that can overwhelm a small space.

Inhale
Place 1 drop on a tissue and breathe from a short distance. Do not hold it against the nose. Do not use this way with young children.

Temples / neck
Dilute to about 0.5–1%:

  • 3–6 drops per 1 oz (30 ml) carrier oil 
  • Or 1 drop in 1 teaspoon carrier oil for a single use

Apply to the back of the neck or temples. Keep well away from eyes. Wash hands after.

Feet and muscles
Dilute to about 1–2% for healthy adults:

  • 6–12 drops per 1 oz carrier oil

Massage into feet or tired legs. Do not use under tight clothing on freshly shaved or broken skin if it stings.

Cool cloth
Add 1 drop to a bowl of cool water. Soak a cloth, wring well, and apply to the back of the neck.

Bath
Do not add neat oil to water. Mix 2–3 drops peppermint with 1 tablespoon carrier oil, then stir into a full tub. Adults only. It will feel cold.
