Spearmint Oil is a high-quality essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Mentha spicata, a herb native to Europe and the Mediterranean. This oil has a fresh, sweet, minty aroma with subtle green-woody undertones. Its principal constituents—carvone, limonene, and menthone—provide antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, digestive-supporting, and soothing properties. Spearmint Oil is widely used in aromatherapy for mental clarity and respiratory support, as well as in personal care formulations, flavor blends, and functional wellness products.
