PEPPERMINT LEAF

A Leaf With a Cool Trick

Peppermint is a naturally occurring hybrid of two mints. Its leaves contain aromatic compounds that create that familiar crisp mint sensation.

Why We Chose It

We like its fresh botanical character in products that call for a minty, herbal note. This plant doesn't need a dramatic backstory to make an impression.

Good to Know

Peppermint leaves and peppermint essential oil are different ingredients with different strengths and uses.

Fun Fact

Peppermint's cooling sensation is a clever sensory trick: menthol activates cold-sensing nerve receptors even when the temperature hasn't actually fallen.
