The peppermint plant is a hybrid of water mint and spearmint that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. A high menthol content—like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint essential oil—distinguishes the best quality Peppermint oil from other products. The sharp, sweet scent of Peppermint essential oil can create an exhilarating environment during physical activity.

Because of its high menthol content, Peppermint oil may be soothing when used in a massage.

Vanilla Absolute

A perennial climbing vine that grows up to 75 feet long, Vanilla planifolia is a member of the orchid family, with yellow-white flowers that produce odorless bean pods. These blooms must be hand-pollinated, and it takes three to four years for the plant to begin producing beans. The beans are also harvested by hand before undergoing a time-consuming, labor-intensive process to fully develop their aroma and flavor.

Afterward, the beans are ground into small pieces and subjected to pressurized CO² in a two-step extraction process that captures the beans’ aromatic constituents in a vanilla absolute.

Of the real vanilla available in the world, 80% comes from Madagascar, which has the perfect tropical climate for the spice to thrive. In Madagascar, thousands of people—mostly families—are employed in the vanilla supply chain. The harvest is a crucial source of employment for rural communities and an integral part of the local economy, contributing to the livelihoods of almost 80,000 farmers.
