Spearmint Essential Oil 50ml – Mentha Spicata | Steam Distilled China | 60% Carvone

Discover the bright, clean freshness of pure Spearmint Essential Oil, steam distilled from the flowering tops of Mentha Spicata sourced from China. Cool, sweet and wonderfully invigorating — with a crisp, minty clarity, a soft, green sweetness and a clean, slightly fruity depth — Spearmint is one of the most refreshing, versatile and universally familiar essential oils in aromatherapy and natural home fragrance.

This is a high-grade 60% Carvone variety — Carvone being the naturally occurring chemical compound responsible for Spearmint’s distinctive, characteristic aroma. The remaining 40% comprises the full spectrum of other naturally occurring aromatic compounds present in the Spearmint plant, contributing to the oil’s rounded, complex and beautifully balanced aromatic profile. This high Carvone content makes it a particularly clean, true-to-plant expression of Spearmint — bright, sweet and aromatically precise.

Spearmint is one of the oldest cultivated herbs in the world — native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia, it has been used in culinary, aromatic and traditional herbal practice since antiquity. The ancient Greeks used Spearmint to scent their bath water and flavour their wine, and it has been a staple of European and Asian herbal tradition for thousands of years. Unlike Peppermint — which contains high levels of menthol and has a sharper, more intense cooling character — Spearmint is softer, sweeter and more gently refreshing, making it one of the most accessible and widely loved mint oils in aromatherapy and natural fragrance.

With its bright, clean and gently uplifting aromatic character, Spearmint Essential Oil is a wonderfully versatile and refreshing addition to any aromatherapy collection — equally at home in the diffuser, the massage blend and natural personal care formulations. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Spearmint regularly into their practice or product making.
