Description
Originating in the United States, this variety of Spearmint oil has a fresh, clean, minty, and sweet aroma that is perfect for aromatherapy applications. The carvone content is roughly 60-70%, which is said to have relaxing and expectorant properties. Spearmint blends well with other mints and is often used in soaps, candles, personal care formulations, and oral hygiene products.
