Product Info:

Peppermint Oil is a refreshing essential oil known for its cooling, soothing, and antimicrobial properties. It provides a tingling sensation that invigorates the scalp and skin, making it popular in hair care products for stimulating hair growth and in skincare for soothing irritation. Its strong minty scent also makes it an excellent ingredient in aromatherapy, lip balms, and personal care products.

Formulation Guidelines:

  • Add to the oil phase or at the cool-down phase to retain potency
  • Best diluted in carrier oils before direct skin application
  • Suitable for shampoos, conditioners, creams, balms, and cleansers
  • Avoid excessive use in sensitive skin formulations due to its potency
