FunctionBotanical

What it is — Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Extract, also called peppermint extract, is a botanical extract used for conditioning and antioxidant support.

What it does — It is commonly used to lend a fresh, conditioned feel and antioxidant character, and can give a formula a subtle plant-based freshness.

Typical use — Found in scalp and hair products, toners, masks and some facial formulas.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits those who enjoy fresh, plant-forward products; mint botanicals can carry naturally cooling, aromatic constituents, so very sensitive or reactive skin may prefer milder options.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review, though as a mint botanical it carries aromatic constituents. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
