$28.03$22.26Save 21%
Our peppermint oil begins as Mentha piperita foliage, steam distilled into a single potent extract. Uncut and unblended, it carries that crisp, cool, invigorating snap peppermint is known for, sharp and minty up front with a faint sweetness trailing behind, ready for diffusing or DIY projects.
Naturally high in menthol is what gives this peppermint oil its icy, tingling snap, and because it's so concentrated, a single drop goes remarkably far.
Verified for purity against our published Certificate of Analysis, so every bottle matches the same tested standard batch after batch.
Ten sizes available, from a 0.5 oz bottle perfect for testing a new recipe up to a 400 lb drum for production runs.

We happily fill bulk orders for peppermint oil, and every size, from a 0.5 oz sample to a 400 lb drum, is held to the same quality standard. Soap makers, candle crafters, and resellers are all welcome to order at any scale.
Peppermint's sharp, minty punch cuts through stale air fast, and just a few minutes in the diffuser turns any room crisp and awake without synthetic air fresheners.
Diluted into a carrier oil, peppermint brings a tingling, cooling sensation to foot soaks and massage blends, perfect for a refreshing end-of-day ritual.
Peppermint's cooling snap makes it a favorite for cold-process soap, candle blends, and homemade lip balms, adding a bright, minty top note that lingers pleasantly.
Blend peppermint with eucalyptus or citrus for a crisp seasonal scent that freshens entryways, bathrooms, and gathering spaces during the colder months.
Peppermint oil is a concentrated botanical extract, not a finished skincare product. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before applying to skin, and patch test on a small area first. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets, and never take internally. Store the bottle tightly capped in a shaded cabinet away from direct heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pure Peppermint Oil's peppermint oil 100% pure? ▾
Yes. Our peppermint oil ships 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added and nothing removed. Every batch is backed by our published Certificate of Analysis, so you can see exactly what you're getting before you buy.
How is peppermint oil different from spearmint oil? ▾
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a natural hybrid of watermint and spearmint, which gives it a sharper, more menthol-forward scent than spearmint alone. Spearmint leans sweeter and softer, while peppermint delivers the icy, candy-cane snap most people picture when they think of mint.
What does peppermint oil smell like, and what blends well with it? ▾
Expect a crisp, cool, invigorating scent, sharp and minty up front with a faint sweetness underneath. It pairs beautifully with eucalyptus, spearmint, rosemary, lavender, sweet orange, and tea tree, making it easy to build bright, energizing blends for diffusers or DIY projects.
How much should I dilute peppermint oil before using it on skin? ▾
Peppermint is potent, so dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond before applying to skin. Always patch test a small area first, and avoid sensitive areas like the eyes. This keeps the cooling sensation comfortable rather than overwhelming.
What sizes does Pure Peppermint Oil come in? ▾
We offer ten sizes of peppermint oil, starting at 0.5 oz for everyday use and scaling all the way up to 400 lbs for wholesale and production needs. Whatever quantity you need, from a single bottle to a bulk drum, it's available directly from our shop.
Does buying a larger size save money per ounce? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of our smallest 0.5 oz bottle. Buying larger is one of the simplest ways to stretch your budget if you use peppermint oil regularly.
Which size of peppermint oil should I buy? ▾
If you're new to peppermint oil, start with the 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle to test it in a diffuser or recipe. Regular users of soaps, candles, or skincare typically choose 4 oz to 16 oz, while soap makers and formulators often move straight to the 5 lb and larger sizes.
How fast does peppermint oil ship? ▾
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a bit of extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so you'll get tracking and order updates the same way you would for any online purchase.
Why is peppermint oil described as a top note in perfumery? ▾
Peppermint's aroma is sharp and volatile, so it announces itself immediately and fades before the middle and base notes of a blend take over, which is exactly what a top note does. That quick, bright burst is also why just a drop or two is enough to lift an entire blend.
