Peppermint
Steam-distilled from organic peppermint leaves. Crisp, cooling menthol that revitalises tired skin and sharpens focus. Invigorating astringent for oily, combination, or post-exertion application.
What it does:
Delivers instant cooling sensation that refreshes tired, overheated skin. Natural astringent properties help refine the appearance of oily or combination skin. Crisp minty aroma energises the senses and promotes alertness – the scent that sharpens attention and resets energy.
Why we use it
High menthol content for genuine cooling
Contains 40–50% menthol – the naturally occurring compound responsible for peppermint's signature cooling effect. Not synthetic menthol crystals. Whole essential oil with menthol in its botanical context, surrounded by menthone, menthyl acetate, and other supporting terpenes. The cooling you feel is chemistry, not illusion.
Astringent refinement for balanced skin
Tightens the appearance of pores, reduces excess oil, leaves skin feeling clean and toned. Particularly valued for oily zones, post-workout application, or hot-weather refreshment. The botanical toner athletes and warm climates reach for instinctively.
Olfactory wake-up call
Crisp, penetrating aroma that stimulates alertness and mental clarity. Peppermint's scent profile triggers immediate sensory response – the aromatic equivalent of cold water on the face. Morning rituals, midday resets, pre-activity preparation. The oil that signals it's time to engage.
Versatile workhorse in energising formulations
Popular in foot care (cooling tired soles), sports balms (post-exertion relief), toners (oil control), and body care where invigoration is the goal. The essential oil that multitasks without losing potency.
