Peppermint’s refreshing aroma and powerful anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties make it great for diffusing or spritzing throughout a room to help disinfect, clean, and purify your home. When properly diluted, peppermint essential oil has an icy-hot effect on the skin, that makes it great for pain relief.

Our peppermint essential oil is extracted from the plant’s leaf using steam distillation. This is the most common way to extract oils from a plant. By combining gentle pressure and heated steam, steam distillation releases the essential oil from the plant and into the steam vapor.
