Aura Cacia 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil | 120 ml

Peppermint essential oil is the second most popular essential oil in the United States, known for its fresh, cool aroma and soothing effects on the skin. The primary constituent of this oil is menthol, which produces an immediate physical and pronounced sensation of coolness when inhaled or applied topically.

Sourced from the prominent Yakima Valley in Washington state, this U.S.-based essential oil is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, although its exact origin is uncertain. The crossing of its two parent species, mentha and piperita, occurred naturally in the wild.

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) testing is the primary method used to ensure the purity and authenticity of essential oils. Every batch of Aura Cacia essential oils, including this peppermint oil, undergoes rigorous GC/MS testing to guarantee it is an unadulterated, true botanical. This product is also vegan and cruelty-free.

Peppermint essential oil blends well with a variety of other oils, such as lavender, rosemary, lemon eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon, and sweet orange. In addition to being used in body and massage oils, it is often incorporated into air fresheners, like air mists and diffusions, due to its refreshing and energizing effects, making it an ideal choice for travelers on long trips.

Aura Cacia was founded 38 years ago on the principles of pure essential oils and true aromatherapy benefits. The company partners with suppliers to source high-quality botanicals and ensures the purity of every batch through thorough testing. Aura Cacia provides premium products with consumer safety at the forefront, and importantly, it is part of a member-owned co-op that prioritizes people and the planet over profits.

When using peppermint essential oil, it is recommended to dilute it in a carrier product, such as skin care oil, unscented lotion, or unscented liquid soap, for safe and effective use. For a quick tip, try massaging 2 drops of peppermint oil mixed with 1 teaspoon of Aura Cacia Jojoba Oil into your temples.

For a refreshing and energizing desktop diffusion, combine 24 drops of Aura Cacia Peppermint Essential Oil, 24 drops of Aura Cacia Grapefruit Essential Oil, and 1/2 cup of coarse salt in a jar. Leave the jar open on your desk for a continuous, invigorating aroma.

It's important to note that the use of essential oils for children under the age of 3 should be guided by a healthcare practitioner.
