INCI: Mentha spicata

Escentia Spearmint Pure Essential Oil (Mentha spicata) is a single-ingredient essential oil with a fresh, sweet mint aroma that feels softer and less sharp than peppermint. It is commonly used in aromatherapy, diffuser blends, and diluted body care formulations where a cleaner, gentler mint profile is preferred. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or room spray, so it should always be diluted before skin use. Steam distilled from the flower tops and sourced from India, it is a versatile oil for both home fragrancing and cosmetic blending.

♡ Why we love it: Spearmint has a bright, uplifting freshness that feels easy to live with. It brings that familiar minty clarity to a blend, but with a softer edge that works beautifully in body care and home fragrance recipes.
