Wintergreen Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen), presenting as light yellow to pinkish tone. Composed almost entirely of methyl salicylate (96–99%) — the natural precursor to aspirin — Wintergreen Oil delivers a powerful, sharp, sweet-minty, analgesic aroma that is the defining fragrance of classic topical pain relief products. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties via methyl salicylate make it one of the most effective natural oils for muscle and joint pain relief applications.
