We offer two versions of peppermint essential oil:
Peppermint Supreme– this is a stronger, less sweet version of peppermint. This is often the peppermint that people think of when ordering peppermint
Willamette Valley Peppermint-this is the peppermint that we have carried for years. Willamette Valley Peppermint is sweeter and greener than peppermint supreme. I love this peppermint but it more green than peppermint supreme.
I think peppermint essential oil is one of the most well-known, most popular essential oils on the market. Peppermint essential oil is used in everything. Soaps, lotions, foot creams, shampoos, hair treatments, toothpaste, mouthwash, gum, coffee creamer, diffuser blends, skincare products, household cleaners, chocolates, edibles, baked goods…how many more can you name?
100% pure peppermint essential oil is a clear oil, that has a bright, fresh scent. It only takes a small amount of peppermint to your formulations to get a nice, clean scent profile.
Can peppermint essential oil be ingested? Technically yes, peppermint is an essential oil that can be taken internally. We are not a food or supplement certified facility so we cannot recommend that you ingest peppermint, however the quality of our peppermint essential oils are both food grade.
Peppermint essential oil is safe to use on both skin and hair. We always recommend that any and all essential oils are diluted into a finished product, or into a carrier oil before applying to skin or hair.
Peppermint essential oil also performs fantastic in soaps. Either peppermint will work great, and you can combine the two together to give a well rounded peppermint with both the sweet and the strong.
Try adding peppermint essential oil to any of these products:
Muscle and Joint Salves/Creams/Rubs- Peppermint essential oil is a natural painkiller and can be used topically through rubs, salves, ointments, scrubs, soaks, oils, creams. Blend a little peppermint essential into your CBD salve, made with a base of our organic jojoba oil and unrefined hemp seed oil. Or create a bath soak blend with peppermint, lavender and warm vanilla sugar fragrance to help relax tired and sore muscles.
Diffuser blends- Yes, please! If you’ve ever come by our office you have most likely smelled some diffuser blend with peppermint in it. I like to do a blend of peppermint, cedarwood and rosemary to create a warm, clean, fresh scent. Peppermint essential oil, when inhaled, is said to help clear sinuses, and help to relieve dry, scratchy throats. It can also be beneficial as a diffuser blend when someone is starting to get a cold or flu. Peppermint essential oil is both an expectorant (so it clears up mucus) and an antimicrobial (so it kills cold and flu bugs). Try a blend of peppermint, eucalyptus and lime for a bright, cold-fighting blend.
Roller Ball Oils- my kids love making these. We have about a million with a million different blends, but I would say at least 75% of them have peppermint. You can create a roller blend using fractionated coconut oil, glycerin, jojoba oil and an essential oil blend. Apply to the back of the neck, inside of wrists, temples, bottom of feet, or just inhale the scent to get all the benefits of pain relief, sinuses opening, and increased energy.
Anti-nausea treatments- peppermint essential oil is one of the fastest ways to soothe an upset tummy. Peppermint essential oil can be taken internally or applied topically to help reduce feelings of nausea.
Peppermint essential oil blends well with lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary, juniper, fir, cypress, oregano, marjoram, juniper, lemon, lemongrass, tea tree, Egyptian geranium, pink grapefruit, red mandarin, lime, bergamot, spearmint, wintergreen, pine, lavandin
100% pure peppermint oil is sold in 0.5-ounce amber glass, 1-ounce amber glass with dropper, 4-ounce amber glass, 8-ounce amber glass, 16-ounce amber glass, 5-pound and 10-pound sizes.

Do not apply directly to skin. Most essential oils are not designed to be applied directly, rather they are designed to be mixed with a carrier oil such as our organic sunflower or organic jojoba oils. Always perform a small patch test when applying to skin.
Do not take internally unless you are licensed to apply them as such.

Jana Hester (verified owner) –
I really appreciate having locally (USA) grown options. This peppermint is bright, true to what you’d think and slightly mild. No musky wet hay notes that others have.
Good scent retention in CP soap with zero issues pouring etc. Designs can be easily incorporated. Will definitely get this again because I like supporting local growers! These options make me love Shay and Company even more, I’ll always choose locally grown if it’s available!
