Spearmint oil

Spearmint oil is a refreshing and mildly cooling essential oil derived from the Mentha spicata plant. Compared to peppermint oil, it has a softer, sweeter aroma due to its lower menthol content, making it ideal for gentle therapeutic applications. It is widely used in aromatherapy, skincare, food flavoring, and medicinal formulations.
