WinterGreen Oil
Wintergreen Oil is a potent essential oil distilled from the leaves of the Gaultheria procumbens or Gaultheria fragrantissima plant, both native to North America and Asia. The oil is obtained via steam distillation and is known for its distinct, sweet, minty aroma and high content of methyl salicylate (typically 98% or more), which gives Wintergreen Oil its strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Historically used in traditional medicine, topical pain relief, and flavoring, Wintergreen Oil remains an active component in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial applications. Its powerful scent and soothing properties make it particularly valued in muscle relief formulas, oral care products, and sports applications.
Xanthoxylum Oil
Xanthoxylum Oil, also known as Sichuan Pepper Oil or Prickly Ash Oil, is an essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the dried berries and seeds of the Zanthoxylum genus plants, primarily Zanthoxylum simulans and Zanthoxylum piperitum. This oil is characterized by its sharp, spicy, citrusy, and slightly woody aroma with tingling, numbing sensory properties. Rich in active compounds such as limonene, beta-pinene, and sabinene, Xanthoxylum Oil is valued for its antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and digestive stimulating effects. Traditionally used in herbal medicine and culinary applications, it also finds use in cosmetics, personal care, and natural pest control products.
