INCI: Mentha piperita

Umuthi Peppermint Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Mentha piperita . It has a potent, clean, refreshing mint aroma that brings a cooling lift to diffuser blends, massage oils, home care products, and outdoor-style formulations. Peppermint is a high-impact oil that works especially well where a crisp, energising herbal note is wanted. It is a practical favourite for seasonal blends, freshening products, and post-activity massage formulations.

♡ Why we love it: Peppermint is bold, bright, and instantly refreshing. It is one of those useful oils that can completely transform a blend with just a small amount, making it a staple for fresh, clean, cooling formulations.
