Spearmint Organic Essential Oil

Our organic refreshing Spearmint Essential Oil is steam distilled from minty green leaves of the Mentha spicata plant, also known as Common Mint or Garden Mint, grown in the USA. Aromatically, Spearmint Oil is a top note, with a beautiful, sweet, lively, cool, minty green aroma with subtle fruity characteristics.

Spearmint Essential Oil is the gentler, sweeter and less potent version of Peppermint Essential Oil - Peppermint will have an immediate strong aroma of Menthol, whereas Spearmint has a wonderfully refreshing, sweet minty aroma due to the predominance of one molecule: l-Carvone, a ketone that bears no potential toxicity. This makes Spearmint more suitable for use with children and others who may find Peppermint too strong or too stimulating.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
