What is Peppermint Essential Oil?
Peppermint Essential Oil is the steam-distilled essential oil of Mentha piperita, in the Lamiaceae family,. It is drawn from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant. Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and watermint with the highest menthol content of the cultivated mints.
About the oil
Peppermint essential oil is distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Mentha piperita, a naturally occurring cross between spearmint (Mentha spicata) and watermint (Mentha aquatica). The hybrid carries the highest menthol content of any cultivated mint, typically 30 to 50 percent, which is what gives the oil its intense minty character.
Peppermint is one of the most widely grown and used aromatic mints, and its scent is instantly familiar from confectionery and personal-care products.
Aroma and character
The aroma of peppermint oil is bright, minty, and mentholic.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
