Spearmint Oil

Spearmint Oil – Steam-Distilled Essential Oil for Flavor and Cosmetic Applications

Product Overview

Spearmint Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil obtained from the flowering tops and leaves of Mentha spicata. Known for its sweet, refreshing, and mildly minty aroma, it differs from peppermint by containing carvone as its main active compound rather than menthol. This gives Spearmint Oil a softer and sweeter profile, making it ideal for food flavoring, oral care, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Pure Steam-Distilled Spearmint Essential Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our oil is carefully distilled to preserve its natural sweetness and characteristic aroma, with consistent chemical composition and purity. Sourced from high-quality mint crops, it is suitable for both food-grade and cosmetic-grade applications worldwide.
