Description
Our natural Mentha piperita essential oil for cosmetics comes from the species Mentha piperita, a herbaceous plant in the Lamiaceae family. The product is offered under the name Mentha Piperita natural essential oil for cosmetics. The species owes its origin to a natural cross between two closely related wild members of the genus, which botanists regard as fully proven. The genus finds a suitable environment in Bulgaria, where the raw material for the product originates and where the crop holds an established place among the local essential oil plantations. The plantations are maintained naturally, which is evident in the purity of the final liquid. The liquid is an entirely natural oil from a single plant species. The composition remains free of preservatives and colourants, and the aromatic picture depends solely on the plant raw material. The aromatic picture is defined by the fresh and sharp menthol tone, which transitions into a sweet-spicy softness. The tone feels strong and clearly defined, as steam distillation transfers the volatile constituents of the plant into the final product unchanged. The distillation covers the entire aboveground stalk, in whose glandular hairs on the leaves and on the stalk the plant accumulates almost the entire volatile aromatic fraction. The stalk also brings green parts into the distillation, which is why the otherwise colourless liquid acquires a pale yellowish-green tint. The consistency remains liquid and free-flowing. The natural origin and the absence of supplements define the pure character of the oil. The oil retains the natural profile of the plant and, in addition, remains homogeneous throughout its volume. The sharp menthol freshness remains a lasting hallmark of the Mentha piperita species.

Application
Natural Mentha piperita essential oil is widely used in cosmetics, where it imparts a cooling and tonic effect to a variety of face, body and hair products. It is incorporated into cleansing gels for face and body, serums and masks with detoxifying, tonic and antiseptic action, hydrating face sprays with a cooling sensation and formulas for oily, combination and acne-prone skin that soothe irritation, redness and a tendency towards clogged pores. The oil enriches mattifying creams and lotions, hand creams with a stimulating action and foot creams with a cooling and relaxing function to relieve fatigue. It is applied in lip balms with a slight tingling, in exfoliants, scrubs and massage oils with a cooling note, in after-shave formulas with a soothing effect and in products for sensitive skin after sun exposure. It is used in shampoos to refresh and balance the scalp, against dandruff and itching, in natural soaps with a fresh herbal profile, in deodorants with antiseptic properties and in oral hygiene products with a minty flavour. The oil is also found in creams and gels for sports and active use, in bath products with an invigorating effect, in lotions with a light cooling effect for summer and in creams with herbal and natural notes, giving every composition a fresh minty scent and a stimulating coolness.

Storage

Store natural Mentha piperita essential oil in a dark, cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain a temperature of +5°C to +20°C to prevent oxidation and the loss of beneficial properties. After opening, limit the amount of air in the container, and as the contents decrease, transfer the remainder into a smaller, clean and dry bottle. Use only aluminium or glass bottles for cosmetic products, preferably made of dark glass, which protect the essential oil for cosmetics from light. Close tightly after each use so that air and moisture cannot enter. Observing these conditions preserves the aroma and quality of the product for a longer period.
