A Hybrid Found in Hertfordshire

Peppermint is a cross between watermint and spearmint. Dr. Eales found it in Hertfordshire, England. John Ray published the find in 1696. Linnaeus named it Mentha piperita in 1753.

From Meadow to Pharmacopoeia

Peppermint entered the London Pharmacopoeia in 1721. It is native to Europe and the Middle East. Menthol is the main constituent of its essential oil, which gives the cool feel.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this peppermint fragrance oil to your own base. Peppermint oil for soap gives a bright, cool lather scent. A menthol mint scent pairs well with eucalyptus. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Your 2-pack gives you a bottle to keep and a bottle to share. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Peppermint is a relatively young plant in botanical terms, known as a cross rather than an ancient species. A menthol mint scent keeps a blend lively. Many makers choose peppermint oil for soap in winter batches. A fresh mint leaf scent suits cream just as well.
