Description

Our organically crafted Peppermint Hydrosol is steam distilled from the crisp, deliciously green leaves of the fragrant Mentha x piperita plant cultivated in rich green fields in the USA. This hydrosol’s aroma is fresh, minty, and super energizing.

True Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is thought to be a hybrid from two other species of Mentha: Watermint (Mentha aquatica) and Spearmint (Mentha spicata) and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753.
