Fresh herb with a fresh aroma
Peppermint is a herbaceous and hardy plant up to 1 meter tall, belonging to the mint family. It grows in European countries as well as in North and South America. Its high menthol content gives it its intense scent and fresh aroma. Different wild types of mint have been used as medicinal plants since ancient times. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, it has long been used in natural medicine to combat digestive issues and colds.
Cooling care and pure refreshment
Peppermint extract is obtained from the leaves and shoots of the plant. Its main components are essential oils (including menthol), triterpenes (secondary plant compounds), and flavonoids.
Thanks to its skin-clearing and skin-cooling effect, mint provides a true skin refreshment. The essential mint oil has an antimicrobial effect on the skin.
