10 ml Spearmint
Spearmint Essential Oil — 10ml
Spearmint is the gentler, sweeter cousin of peppermint — its essential oil, distilled from the flowering tops of Mentha spicata, contains approximately 60% carvone rather than the high menthol content of peppermint, giving it a softer, more rounded minty character that is less intense and more approachable. It has been used medicinally and culinarily since ancient times across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and is one of the most widely recognised mint varieties in the world. Its sweet, clean aroma makes it a popular choice in products designed for children and those sensitive to the intensity of peppermint.
