About this product
Uncap it and the air turns wintry. This is mint at its most extreme, an oil that even smells cold, for a bright, clearing scent when you want to feel the chill.
Corn mint, Mentha arvensis, is steam-distilled from ethically farmed leaves, fair trade from the mountains of Nepal. Its menthol reaches 75%, where our Organic Hungarian Peppermint holds about 52%. That much menthol behaves like frost: at cool room temperature it solidifies in the bottle. A few minutes in a warm pocket or a cup of warm water will bring it back to liquid.
How to use
It blends with any oil that partners peppermint, but use far less if you want the scent in balance: this assertive oil will move in and take over. Use it for brief periods only. Not for topical use or diffusion around children six and under, and limit their exposure by every route, even inhalation.
