Spearmint Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the aerial parts of Mentha spicata (spearmint), presenting as colourless, yellow, or greenish yellow. Dominated by carvone (45–70%) rather than menthol, Spearmint Oil delivers a sweeter, milder, more rounded mint character compared to peppermint — often described as the ‘children’s mint’ for its gentler cooling profile without the intensity of peppermint’s menthol. It is the defining flavour of chewing gum and is widely used in oral care, food flavouring, and personal care as a milder, more consumer-friendly alternative to peppermint.
Applications:
- Oral Care (chewing gum flavouring, toothpastes, mouthwashes, breath fresheners)
- Food & Beverage (spearmint flavoured confectionery, beverages, and health products)
- Aromatherapy (mild mental clarity, focus, and digestive comfort blends)
- Personal Care (deodorants, body care, shampoos with mild mint character)
