This is not a standard peppermint. Distilled in collaboration with St. Hilaire Family Farms in Hermiston, Oregon — a family farming operation with deep roots in American mint cultivation — this single batch oil captures what peppermint tastes and smells like at its best: robust, nuanced, intensely clean, and genuinely alive in a way that mass-produced oils rarely achieve. 

Every bottle comes from a specific harvest, a specific farm, and a specific moment in the season. 
For makers who care about ingredient provenance and want a mint that performs at the highest level, and for home users who simply want the real thing, this is the one. Limited availability. Formulation-ready. Worth it every time.

How to use

Diffuse sparingly to energize a space, sharpen focus, and create a crisp, intensely refreshed atmosphere that commands attention. Especially well suited for workspaces, morning rituals, and creative sessions where a strong, clean mint presence motivates clarity and momentum.

Frequently used by makers in confection-inspired formulations where a bold American mint profile is the desired aromatic centerpiece. Popular in handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, and shower products where a powerful mint note creates a fully immersive sensory experience.

Commonly used in bath bombs, bath salts, and shower steamers for a bracing, energizing soak or steam. A standout ingredient in cooling muscle rubs, post-workout body products, and athletic recovery blends when properly diluted.

Frequently included in natural peppermint-forward seasonal blends, holiday formulations, and winter home care products. Used in natural cleaning products, surface sprays, and kitchen formulas where a strong, sharp mint presence reinforces freshness.

Due to its high potency as a redistilled oil, always dilute carefully for topical applications and use conservatively in all formulations.

What the research says

Peppermint is widely studied for its effects on alertness, cognitive performance, nausea relief, and tension headaches. Clinical research has examined peppermint oil inhalation in postoperative, chemotherapy-related, and pregnancy-related settings, and separate studies have measured its effects on attention, memory, and cerebral blood flow. Its primary aromatic compound, menthol, continues to be a focus of both topical and inhalation research.
