Spearmint Oil Mentha spicata

As a milder alternative to other mint essential oils, Spearmint oil is gentle enough to use topically or while cooking—without losing any of its freshness.

We hope you find a way to sneak a little relaxation into your day, whether it be snuggling up in bed for a few extra minutes in the morning or laughing with a friend. Spearmint is the essential oil that can help you steal those little moments of the calm back as it gently uplifts with a minty and bright aroma. Often confused with Peppermint, Spearmint is cooling and more nuanced.

For thousands of years, Spearmint’s medicinal and therapeutic properties have been explored. The Ancient Greeks used it to restore the body while adding a lovely fragrance to their bathwater. When diluted with a carrier oil, it can work as a powerful decongestant.

A hardy branched herb that produces bright green leaves, Spearmint also sprouts colored flowers and slender cylindrical spikes. The flowering herbs are put through a steam distillation process to extract the oil, which can add a minty note to the floral essential oil blend.
