Mentha piperita oil, the essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the flowering peppermint plant, is used in cosmetic formulations. The peppermint oil has a strengthening effect on skin or hair. It also has a refreshing, deodorising effect and is used as a fragrance (reduces or masks unpleasant body odour; reduces or inhibits the basic smell or taste of a product).
