INCI: Mentha spicata

Umuthi Spearmint Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the flowering tops and leaves of Mentha spicata . It has a fresh mint profile that is generally softer and sweeter than peppermint, making it useful in diffuser blends, steam blends, massage oils, bath products, and natural fragrance formulations. Spearmint brings a clean, uplifting aromatic note to products and pairs beautifully with basil, eucalyptus, jasmine, lavandin, lavender, rosemary, and peppermint. It is a refreshing choice where minty brightness is wanted without the sharper intensity of peppermint.

♡ Why we love it: Spearmint is fresh, friendly, and easy to blend. It gives products a bright mint lift while staying a little softer than peppermint, which makes it useful for diffuser blends, bath products, and fresh aromatic formulations.
