Peppermint Oil – Steam-Distilled Essential Oil for Food, Cosmetic, and Pharmaceutical Use

Product Overview

Peppermint Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the fresh aerial parts of Mentha piperita. Recognized worldwide for its cooling, refreshing, and invigorating aroma, this oil is a natural source of menthol and menthone, which provide both sensory and functional benefits. With its strong minty flavor and antibacterial properties, Peppermint Oil is widely used in food, cosmetics, oral care, aromatherapy, and pharmaceuticals.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Pure Steam-Distilled Peppermint Essential Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management and international purity standards. Our oil is carefully distilled to preserve its full menthol profile, offering consistent potency, clarity, and aroma quality. It is available in both food-grade and cosmetic-grade variants suitable for global manufacturing needs.
