Spearmint Essential Oil
Spearmint Essential Oil
Spearmint Essential Oil (Mentha spicata)
Spearmint Essential Oil (Mentha spicata) is steam distilled from the leaves and tops of the plant, sourced from the USA. Its refreshing, minty-green aroma is sweeter and softer than Peppermint, making it a popular everyday alternative in diffuser blends, skincare and oral-care formulations.
In aromatherapy, Spearmint is valued for its uplifting, clarifying aroma, often used to create a fresh, energising atmosphere and to help ease everyday mental fatigue.
Spearmint is a longstanding favourite in oral-care and skincare formulations, commonly included in toothpaste, mouthwash and balms for its clean, refreshing character.
A little care goes a long way: Spearmint Essential Oil is a mild skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction, so always dilute well before topical use and patch test first.

For toothpaste, mouthwash and balms, Spearmint works well at 0.2-0.5% of the total formulation.
Aromatherapy & Diffuser Blend
For an uplifting, clarifying blend, try 2 drops Spearmint with 2 drops Rosemary and 2 drops Lavender.
Cold-Process Soap
Spearmint performs well in cold-process soap — try 2-3% of total oil weight for a fresh, minty scent.
