100% organic Peppermint oil has a strong, minty refreshing scent with refreshing deodorant properties. Peppermint's cooling power comes from the high percentage of menthol in its leaves. Menthol has antibacterial properties and is used externally in ointments to help stimulate nerve endings and increase local blood flow.
While it suits all skin types, Peppermint is best suitable for oily acne-prone skin due to its astringent properties. It may feel a little too cooling for sensitive skin.
In hair care products, peppermint refreshes and stimulates the scalp promoting blood circulation which, in turn, stimulates growth. Its cooling menthol content also makes it an excellent remedy for itching and dryness.
In aromatherapy, it's uplifting, invigorating, and the stimulating scent helps promote concentration, and relieve mental fatigue, apathy, headaches, and depression. The analgesic properties in oil help gradually relax muscle pain, joint pain, back pain, and headache.
