Botanical field note
Research and evidence
We do not choose ingredients because they sound natural. We look at supplier quality, formulation role and available research before an ingredient earns a place in a Skin Botanist formula. For customers who want to go deeper, the reputable research papers and source notes we have reviewed are listed below.
Peppermint essential oil has been studied for cooling sensory pathways and plant constituents such as menthol. In carefully balanced formulas, it contributes a fresh botanical feel and a crisp aromatic profile.
Chosen because it has a clear sensory and aromatic function. Skin Botanist uses it cautiously and deliberately because peppermint is powerful even at low levels. Use at lower dilution than gentler essential oils. Avoid use near eyes, mucous membranes, infants, young children and pets.
