Mentha Piperita Leaf Water

Mentha Piperita Leaf Water is a steam-distilled hydrosol obtained as a co-product during the essential oil extraction from fresh peppermint leaves. Unlike the concentrated essential oil, this hydrosol contains water-soluble aromatic compounds and trace amounts of volatile oils, providing a gentle cooling sensation and characteristic minty aroma without the intensity or potential irritation of pure peppermint oil. Formulators favor it as a multifunctional ingredient that serves as both an aromatic water phase and a soothing agent, particularly valued in toners, facial mists, and refreshing skincare products where it imparts mild astringent and calming properties.
