Description
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. This ultra high menthol mint variety even SMELLS cold. If you are seeking the “coldest” mint oil you can find, for easing sinus congestion or for a chilling pain relief blend I would consider this bargain-priced ancestor of our more familiar peppermint oils.
Our Midwestern Peppermint has just over 40% Menthol. Our Organic Hungarian Peppermint has about 52% and this Corn Mint weighs in at an amazing 75%!
At cool room temperature, the menthol will solidify. A few minutes in a warm pocket or a cup of warm water will easily reliquefy the contents.
This intense mint will blend with any of the oils that normally blend well with peppermint, however if your goal is scent balance, you will want to use much less. This is an assertive oil that WILL move in and take over.
SAFETY: Not for topical use or diffusion around children six and under. I would limit exposure by all avenues, even inhalation.

I place this corn mint as one of the top ten oils in my family’s oil apothecary. I carry with me at all times an inhaler made with only this oil. It has been dramatically effective at halting an oncoming migraine, which is why it earns a top 10 spot. It’s my first go-to when I feel a migraine coming on. It’s highly helpful at arousing the senses when feeling lethargic or drowsy, particularly when driving. It’s also amazing at alleviating any painful sinus congestion. It is a crucial ingredient in my anti-itch blend that I use in an aloe gel base. It’s excellent at providing a cooling sensation on hot, itchy bug bites.
Definitely a powerful oil, so sniff lightly at first when using in an inhaler!
