Peppermint leaf oil is produced through steam distillation. This process involves harvesting the peppermint leaves, which are then subjected to high-pressure steam. The steam carries the volatile oil components of the peppermint leaves, separating them from the plant matter. This aromatic steam is then cooled, causing the oil to condense and separate from the water. Its cooling and refreshing properties, thanks to menthol, provide immediate relief from itching, irritation, and inflammation. The oil's antimicrobial and antibacterial actions help combat acne-causing bacteria and soothe skin conditions. Additionally, peppermint leaf oil can stimulate blood circulation, promoting a healthier complexion and potentially aiding in hair growth.
