Spearmint Essential Oil – Gentle, Fresh & Family-Friendly
Spearmint Essential Oil is a mild, refreshing essential oil from the mint family, valued for its soft, sweet-minty aroma and gentle nature. Steam distilled from the leaves, stems, and flowering tops of the Spearmint plant (Mentha spicata), this oil is widely known as the gentler alternative to peppermint.
Traditionally used to scent bath water and freshen spaces, spearmint oil is now commonly found in toothpaste, chewing gum, aromatherapy blends, and natural household products. Its lighter menthol content makes it suitable for children, the elderly, and individuals with sensitive skin when properly diluted.
Our spearmint essential oil is 100% pure, natural, and undiluted, ideal for aromatherapy, household use, and topical application when diluted.
What Does Spearmint Essential Oil Smell Like?
Spearmint oil has a soft, sweet, and herbaceous mint aroma. Compared to peppermint, it is less sharp and less intense, offering a cooling yet comforting scent that feels fresh without being overpowering.
