• Children under 6: Do not apply peppermint oil on or near the face or nostrils of children under 6 years of age. The high menthol content can cause breathing difficulties, laryngospasm, or respiratory distress in young children
• G6PD enzyme deficiency: Avoid use entirely. Menthol may trigger adverse reactions in individuals with this genetic condition (Tisserand & Young, Essential Oil Safety, 2nd Ed., p. 387)
• Cardiac fibrillation: Avoid use entirely (Tisserand & Young, Essential Oil Safety, 2nd Ed., p. 387)
• Pregnancy: Consult a healthcare provider before use
• GERD / Acid reflux: Menthol may relax the lower esophageal sphincter — use caution if you have gastroesophageal reflux
• Non-phototoxic — no UV restrictions after topical use

• For external use only — do not ingest
• Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to skin
• Keep away from eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive skin areas — menthol causes intense cooling and may irritate
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs

• Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed
• Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight
• The dark amber glass bottle protects against UV degradation
• Expected shelf life: 3–4 years when stored properly
• Tip: write the date you opened the bottle on the label so you can track freshness

• Eye contact: Flush immediately with carrier oil (disperses menthol better than water alone), then rinse with clean water. Menthol near the eyes is extremely uncomfortable — seek medical attention if irritation persists
• Skin irritation: Apply carrier oil to dilute, then wash with soap and water
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention
• Allergic reaction: Discontinue use. Seek emergency attention if swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe rash develops

Yes. Our peppermint essential oil is 100% pure, certified organic Mentha x piperita. It contains no synthetic additives, fillers, fragrance oils, or carrier oils. It is steam-distilled from organically grown peppermint in India and hand-bottled at our US facility.

Peppermint oil has a fresh, sharp, intensely minty aroma — bright menthol with a cool, slightly sweet undertone and a clean finish. It is more intense than spearmint, with a pronounced cooling sensation when inhaled. As a top note, it creates an immediate, invigorating first impression.

Peppermint is one of the most popular essential oils for headache comfort. Research suggests that topical application of diluted peppermint oil to the temples and forehead may help ease tension-type headache discomfort. Add 1–2 drops to 1 teaspoon of carrier oil, apply to temples and forehead (avoiding eyes), and breathe deeply.

Peppermint is more potent than many essential oils due to its high menthol content. For body and massage, use 8–12 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil (1.6–2.5%). For temples (headache use), use 1–2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil (~1%). For face, use 4–5 drops per tablespoon (~0.8–1%). Always perform a patch test before first use.

Do not use peppermint oil on or near the face of children under 6 years of age. The high menthol content can cause breathing difficulties, laryngospasm, or respiratory distress in young children. For children ages 6 and older, use at half the adult dilution rate and avoid the face area. Always consult a pediatrician before using essential oils on children.

G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency is a genetic condition affecting red blood cells. Menthol, the primary constituent of peppermint oil, may trigger adverse reactions in individuals with this condition. If you have G6PD deficiency, avoid peppermint oil entirely, including diffusing. This guidance follows Tisserand & Young's Essential Oil Safety reference.

No. Peppermint oil is non-phototoxic, meaning you do not need to avoid sunlight after applying it to skin. It is safe for daytime topical use.

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) has significantly higher menthol content (35–50%) compared to spearmint, which contains primarily carvone and little to no menthol. This makes peppermint much more cooling and intense. Spearmint has a sweeter, gentler minty aroma and is often preferred for use around children. Peppermint is a natural hybrid of spearmint and watermint.

For headache temple application, fractionated coconut oil absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue. Jojoba oil works well for facial use. Sweet almond oil is a good choice for body massage. For bath soaks, use Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes as a carrier instead of oil.

Cats are particularly sensitive to essential oils, including peppermint, because they lack the liver enzymes to metabolize certain compounds. Dogs may also be sensitive to menthol. Do not apply essential oils directly to pets, and ensure diffusing areas are well-ventilated with an exit route for animals. Consult your veterinarian before using any essential oil around pets.

Approximately 300 drops, using the standard euro dropper cap included with each bottle. Actual count varies slightly depending on oil viscosity and dispensing speed.

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Peppermint has a shelf life of 3–4 years when stored properly — one of the longer-lasting essential oils. Refrigeration is not required but won't harm the oil.

No. Our essential oils are formulated, tested, and labeled for external use only. Essential oils are extremely concentrated — peppermint oil is roughly 28 times more concentrated than peppermint tea. For culinary use, use fresh or dried peppermint leaves instead.
