Feel cleaner, calmer, and add more sweetness to your life with Spearmint Essential Oil. Steam distilled from the leaves of the Mentha spicata plant, Spearmint offers a minty scent that’s light, cooling, and slightly fruity. It’s similar to Peppermint, but softer and sweeter.
Spearmint is a popular herb that has been used for generations as a home remedy. Spearmint essential oil benefits the digestive system and helps treat stomach ailments.

It has 0.5% menthol, while Peppermint contains 40% menthol.

What are some good Spearmint essential oils uses for the home?
Spearmint essential oil is great for adding natural fragrance to homemade cleaning products, soaps, candles, deodorizing powders, and more. Spearmint helps neutralize odor-causing bacteria while sanitizing surfaces against germs that make us sick. It’s also a great option for anyone who enjoys the clean, crisp scent of mint but prefers an aroma that isn’t as strong as Peppermint or Wintergreen.

Does Spearmint oil keep insects away?
Yes! While humans love the smell of Spearmint, insects can’t stand it. Try diffusing Spearmint oil or dilute it with a carrier oil to make a natural insect repellent that keeps away mosquitoes, flies, moths, fleas, and other pesky bugs. You can also apply a few drops of Spearmint to your doorways and windowsills to create a natural perimeter that keeps insects out of your home.
