Key Features
- CO2 EXTRACT – CO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 to extract all botanical materials from the plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil or solid with no solvent residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction, as it it a more gentle process.
- AROMATHERAPY – Peppermint is wonderfully refreshing, uplifting, and cooling. It’s also known to help support digestion when used as part of a massage, and the respiratory system when used in inhalations. It’s a natural insect repellent too so use it in the home to naturally cleanse your environment and deter unwanted insect visitors.
- HOW TO USE – Peppermint is a ‘Select’ extract, so it can be used for diffusion. Or why not try Peppermint CO2 as an ingredient in a stimulating massage blend, simply dilute into a carrier oil or un-fragranced base to create your own unique body care creations. A herbaceous blend might include Eucalyptus Essential Oil with Peppermint CO2 extract, or try adding Lime and Rosemary Essential Oils for an awakening blend.
- QUALITY – 100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Peppermint Extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Bulgaria. Latin name: Mentha piperita.
Peppermint CO2, a Wonderfully Enlivening CO2 Extract
Peppermint is best known for its refreshing, uplifting, and cooling natural properties. It is commonly used in sports massage blends to help soothe and revitalise tired and aching muscles, as well as in dental care products to cleanse and freshen. Peppermint CO2 extract is naturally anti-bacterial, which makes it a great oil to inhale during the winter months to help to support a healthy respiratory system. Many people also find Peppermint extremely beneficial to their digestive health, we never advise the internal consumption of oils, but simply adding to a massage blend and using to massage the abdomen in clockwise circular motions is enough to reap the benefits of this supportive oil.
What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract?
Total extracts – These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts – Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an essential oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% essential oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.

How to use
Peppermint is a ‘Select’ extract, so can be used for diffusion. Or why not try as part of a revitalising and cooling massage blend to support tired muscles post-workout. It’s also great when added to an un-fragranced shampoo base as it can give you a fresh boost in the morning and contribute to a healthy scalp – try combining it with Rosemary Essential Oil which can reduce hair fall and contribute to a healthy scalp.
TO NOTE: Do not use in pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Do a patch test 24 hours prior to first use to test for sensitivities and always use diluted at the correct ratio. Not suitable for use on children.
