Peppermint oil is extracted by steam distillation from the dark green leaves and purple flowers of the herbaceous plant. The plant belongs to the Labiatae family and has been cultivated commercially in the UK since the mid-eighteenth century. It is thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid of wild mint varieties and grows to approximately three feet in height.

Peppermint oil contains menthol, which provides a refreshing, cooling sensation that helps to invigorate and stimulate the scalp.When applied to the scalp, menthol helps to revitalize the hair roots and promote an optimal environment for healthy hair growth. With regular use, this stimulating effect helps to keep the hair looking strong, full, and beautifully retained.
