Wintergreen Essential Oil
What Is It
Our wintergreen essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Gaultheria fragrantissima, a plant native to the high-altitude forests of Nepal. The unique climate and rich soil conditions of this region produce an exceptionally pure, potent oil, naturally rich in methyl salicylate—the compound responsible for its signature icy freshness and deep, grounding aroma.
Traditionally used for its soothing and clarifying properties, wintergreen remains one of nature’s most distinctive and invigorating botanicals.
The Benefits
Wintergreen is known for its immediate cooling effect, delivering a crisp freshness that awakens the senses. Its sharp, minty scent offers a moment of clarity, cutting through mental fog and providing a natural sense of invigoration. Beyond its aromatic qualities, wintergreen has long been valued for its soothing properties, used in traditional practices to bring ease and comfort.
This oil has a distinctive depth, making it as much about sensation as it is about scent.
Why We Love It
Wintergreen isn’t just another minty note—it’s a true sensory experience. In our formulations, we balance its bracing coolness with rich, nourishing ingredients, ensuring it enhances without overwhelming. In our lip balm, wintergreen isn’t just a flavor—it’s a feeling. A quick hit of fresh air, a moment of clarity, a smooth, cool finish that refreshes without numbing.
