Spearmint essential oil is sourced from a perennial plant that grows 11–40 inches tall and flourishes in temperate climates. It’s widely used in gums, candies, and dental products for its minty taste and to promote fresh breath.

Spearmint essential oil is different from Peppermint oil, serving as a milder option to use topically with children and those with sensitive skin. Its sweet, refreshing aroma is uplifting, making it ideal for diffusion while working or studying. While cooking, Spearmint oil is frequently used in salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be added to homemade salad dressings and meat marinades.
