Used traditionally since Ancient Egypt, peppermint, with its sweet menthol fragrance, is widely used as a flavouring and in aromatherapy. Indigenous to Europe and the Middle East, it is a cross between spearmint and peppermint and is famous for its sweet and sharp 'minty' fragrance. Popularly used as a flavouring and scenting agent, peppermint oil has a wide array of holistic properties which includes helping to improve skin glow and aiding hair and scalp health. Nature's Shield Peppermint oil is certified organic and sustainable and is steam distilled extracted, stored in air-tight amber glass containers, preserving its naturally derived qualities.
