Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil

Mid risk

FunctionEssential Oil

What it is — Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil (INCI: Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil) is an aromatic essential oil from wild mint, used mainly for its natural scent and fresh character.

What it does — It contributes a cooling, minty aroma to a formula and a fresh sensory feel.

Typical use — Found in scalp and hair products, cleansers, body care and some facial formulas where a mint note is wanted.

Who it suits / good to know — Best for those who enjoy fresh, minty products; like most essential oils it can contain fragrance components that are sensitizing for some, so fragrance-sensitive or reactive skin may prefer to avoid it.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk in its EWG-style review, reflecting aromatic constituents that can irritate or sensitize some skin. This is general information, not medical advice. Patch-test if you are fragrance-sensitive and discontinue if irritation occurs.
