Peppermint: A Bold Botanical With Broad Appeal
Few essential oils bring the fresh, cooling power of nature quite like Peppermint Oil (Mentha piperita). Cultivated for centuries, this aromatic botanical remains a staple in the world of personal care, wellness, and aromatherapy — and for good reason. At Naturally Australian Products, we’re proud to offer a certified organic Peppermint Essential Oil that meets the high standards today’s formulators demand.
Whether you're creating a targeted pain relief blend, a revitalizing shampoo, or a skin-cooling lotion, this oil delivers functionality and a refreshing sensory profile backed by science and tradition.
From large-scale body care manufacturers to boutique wellness brands, Peppermint Oil is widely used across industries for its versatility and effectiveness. Its signature menthol content (30–55%) offers instant cooling and sensory stimulation — a sought-after feature in muscle rubs, after-sun products, lip balms, foot care, and more.
Its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and even insecticidal properties make it ideal for:
- Soothing skin in topical formulations
- Refreshing cleansers and shampoos
- Invigorating balms, salves, and massage oils
- Natural oral care formulations
- Uplifting diffuser blends and aromatherapy rollers
With a clean, minty aroma, Peppermint Oil also functions as a fragrant addition to soaps, room sprays, and spa products.
Steam Distilled & Certified Organic
Our Organic Peppermint Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and aerial parts of Mentha piperita, without the use of synthetic chemicals or solvents. This traditional, low-impact method helps preserve the full integrity of its volatile components — ensuring a rich, potent oil that’s both therapeutic and safe for clean-label formulations.
Importantly, our oil is certified organic, giving you and your customers the assurance that it’s grown and processed without harmful pesticides, irradiation, or genetically modified organisms. This aligns with increasing consumer demand for transparency, natural purity, and sustainability in personal care and wellness products.
For formulators seeking a multi-functional ingredient with both functional benefits and strong consumer recognition, Peppermint Oil remains unmatched.
