Peppermint essential oil has a soothing effect and is used on damaged, reddened skin to temporarily reduce skin sensitivity and provide a cooling effect [1]. Studies have shown positive effects when used in skin care for dermatitis.

A large amount of peppermint oil on the skin can cause redness, because menthol, which contains up to 40% of the oil, activates blood circulation. A smaller amount, on the contrary, perfectly tones and improves the color of the skin in case of mature or pale skin. We recommend trying it as a component for clay masks.

There is evidence in the scientific literature that peppermint essential oil can accelerate hair growth [2].

Peppermint essential oil has repellent properties, not only does it have a wonderful fresh smell, but it also repels mosquitoes [3].
