Natural Peppermint Oil (Mentha Piperita) – Aromatic Cooling Base
CAS: 8006-90-4 · FEMA: 2848
Steam-distilled from Mentha piperita – the aromatic backbone of every mint system.
Product Overview
Baisifu peppermint oil is steam-distilled from flowering Mentha piperita herb and standardized for a consistent menthol content of 30-55%. Beyond its refreshing aroma, the natural menthol it carries provides genuine cooling – which is why peppermint oil remains the starting point of most mint flavor systems, oral-care formulas and cooling blends. Combined with WS-series agents it forms the aromatic top of a layered cooling architecture: aroma from the oil, long physical cool from the WS grade.
