Spearmint Essential Oil

Spearmint Essential Oil, distilled from Mentha Spicata (Mentha Spicata Oil), is recognized for its sweet minty aroma with fresh and fruity undertones. Sourced from India, Spearmint Oil is widely used in oral care, home care, food, and industrial applications for its distinctive fragrance and functional profile.

Its crisp aroma profile makes it a preferred choice in oral hygiene products, breath fresheners, deodorizing cleaners, and confections. In flavorings, it is valued for imparting a sweet mint character, different from the intensity of peppermint. In home care and industrial segments, it masks strong odors and supports clean-scented product lines.

Offered in HBNO Bulk and Private Label formats for consistent quality across fragrance, flavor, and formulation use cases.
