Description
The Japanese mint essential oil from Kamelya Aromacosmétique (Mentha arvensis) is a very powerful essential oil, recognized for its high menthol content and its intense, immediate cooling effect. Its sharp, clean menthol aroma delivers a pronounced, direct and long-lasting sensation of cold.
In diffusion, it is used sparingly for its stimulating and energizing effect, appreciated when a quick sensory awakening and a crisp atmosphere are desired. In massage, always highly diluted, it is applied locally to provide a deep cooling sensation, particularly sought after after physical effort or during periods of heat.
In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into gels, lotions, body and hair care products for its intense refreshing effect and its highly active menthol signature.
An essential oil with a strong character, Japanese mint is chosen for its powerful sensory impact, pronounced cooling effect and stimulating action, and is always used in a targeted and measured way.
