Description
Steam-DistilledSingle-Botanical100% PureAromatherapy Grade
Cooling, sharp, unmistakably mint — higher menthol content than spearmint, the reason peppermint diffusion feels distinctly cooling in the room and not just sweet.
Sampson’s Peppermint is a pure single-botanical essential oil from Mentha × piperita, steam-distilled from the leaves. The hybrid species (watermint × spearmint) has the highest natural menthol of the culinary mints, which is what gives the oil its perceived “cooling” effect.
Traditionally used in afternoon focus diffusion, study-space blends with rosemary, and short-burst diffusion to break a mid-afternoon energy slump. Peppermint is on the cat-toxicity list — see the safety tip in How to Use.

Benefits
🌿
High Natural Menthol
Chemistry
Menthol-dominant — the reason peppermint diffusion produces an actual perceived cooling sensation in the nose and not just a sweet mint smell.
📚
Focus-Pair Classic
Use Case
Peppermint plus rosemary is the canonical study-space blend across aromatherapy literature. Both are sharp, both lift focus, neither dominates the other.

Carries Across the Room
Behaviour
Strong projection — 3 drops fills a medium room. Use fewer drops than you would of a softer oil, or pair as 1 drop peppermint + 3 drops of something gentler.
How to Use
01
Diffuse
Add 3–5 drops to an ultrasonic diffuser per 100 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then pause — continuous diffusion isn’t more effective and can desensitize the nose.
02
Dilute for Skin Use
Adults: dilute to 1–3% in a carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut) — 6–18 drops per 30 ml of carrier. For kids, elderly, pregnancy, or sensitive skin: 0.5–1% (3–6 drops per 30 ml). Always patch-test first.
03
Store Cool & Dark
Keep the bottle sealed in a drawer or cupboard away from heat. Most steam-distilled oils last 1–3 years unopened, around 2 years once opened.
“Not safe to diffuse around cats — this oil is on the cat-toxicity list. Also avoid around birds. Dogs tolerate small amounts in well-ventilated spaces.”
