Natural Peppermint Oil

Natural Peppermint Oil (CAS No. 8006‑90‑4) is a volatile essential oil steam‑distilled from flowering aerial parts of Mentha × piperita L., with a fresh‑plant oil yield of 0.3‑0.7%. It is colorless to pale greenish‑yellow, featuring a sharp, penetrating mint aroma dominated by menthol.

Key constituents include menthol (30‑55%), menthone (15‑32%) and menthyl acetate (3‑10%), plus over one hundred minor trace components that create its rich refreshing profile. Its natural blend delivers a unique cooling sensation on skin and mucosa, which cannot be fully replicated by synthetic single‑molecule mint ingredients.

Our batches maintain stable menthol levels with complete supporting documentation, enabling reliable, authentic mint notes for oral‑care, cosmetic and flavor formulation.
