Dilution: Due to its exceptional concentration and high menthol content, we strictly recommend a maximum dilution of 1% in a suitable carrier oil or emulsion for all topical cosmetic applications.

Storage: To preserve the delicate aromatic profile and prevent oxidation, ensure containers are kept tightly closed and stored in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV exposure.

Safety: For external and aromatic use only. Do not ingest under any circumstances. Avoid use on or near the faces of infants and young children, and avoid contact with mucous membranes or broken skin.

It serves as an exceptional botanical active in luxury cooling balms, refreshing body care formulations, and invigorating personal fragrances, pairing brilliantly with eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, and citrus components.

How Peppermint CO₂ Extract is Different from Peppermint Essential Oil
The CO₂ extract captures a broader spectrum of peppermint’s active compounds—including menthol, menthone, and trace amounts of menthofuran—with more balanced proportions and lower thermal degradation than steam distillation.
It delivers a stronger cooling effect, cleaner menthol profile, and reduced volatility, making it ideal for formulations requiring lasting freshness.
Because of its concentrated nature, this CO₂ extracted oil is more potent and requires lower dilution levels in skincare.

Key Constituents (from GCMS analysis)

Use Suggestions

Aromatherapy: Add a few drops to a diffuser for mental clarity, focus, or clearing the airways.
Natural Perfume: A sharp, green top note in fougère, herbal, or sports-style blends.

Traditionally used for its refreshing, clearing scent: The cool, menthol richness of peppermint has long been used in natural wellness practices — particularly during times of queasiness or nausea.
