Peppermint Essential Oil

Steam-distilled from high-menthol peppermint at peak harvest for maximum cooling intensity. Menthol concentration is tested per batch to ensure consistency. One of the most immediately identifiable aromas in the world — and one of the most effective at triggering a sensory reset. Our source tests at 42–48% menthol — the upper range for pharmaceutical-grade peppermint oil — compared to the 30–35% typical of commodity peppermint. At this concentration, the TRPM8 cold receptor activation (the physiological mechanism behind the cooling sensation) is measurably stronger and longer-lasting. Menthol concentration is verified per batch by GC/MS analysis before use.
