Aura Cacia Peppermint Essential Oil, 2-Ounce, Cools Skin, Fresh Minty Aroma

Peppermint essential oil, the primary constituent of which is menthol, produces an immediate physical and pronounced sensation of coolness when inhaled or applied to the skin. This makes it a particularly vitalizing, refreshing, and cooling oil in the practice of aromatherapy.

The peppermint essential oil blends well with a variety of other essential oils, including lavender, rosemary, lemon eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon, and sweet orange. Beyond just body and massage oils, this versatile oil is often used in air fresheners such as air mists and diffusions, making it an ideal choice for travelers on long trips due to its energizing effects.

Peppermint essential oil is generally considered a top note, meaning it evaporates relatively quickly and has a powerful, sweet, menthol aroma. Aura Cacia's peppermint essential oil is 100% pure, GC/MS tested for purity, and contains no synthetic colors or fragrances. It is also not tested on animals.

For safe and effective use, it is recommended to dilute peppermint essential oil in a carrier product such as skin care oil, unscented lotion, or unscented liquid soap. A general dilution guide suggests using 12 drops per 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of carrier for body applications, and 18 drops per 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of carrier for home care applications. For diffusion, users should follow the instructions provided with their diffusion device.

As a quick tip, Aura Cacia suggests massaging 2 drops of peppermint essential oil mixed with 1 teaspoon of Aura Cacia Jojoba Oil into the temples. For a refreshing and energizing desktop diffusion, a recipe is provided using 24 drops of Aura Cacia Peppermint Essential Oil, 24 drops of Aura Cacia Grapefruit Essential Oil, and 1/2 cup of coarse salt. The salt and essential oils should be combined in a jar and left open on the desktop.
