Pennyroyal Oil -118ml

Pennyroyal Oil (Mentha pulegium) is a powerful aromatic essential oil derived from the leaves of the pennyroyal herb, part of the mint family. Known for its intense herbal scent and traditional use in skin applications, this cosmetic-grade oil is ideal for external use only and must be diluted before application. With its refreshing aroma, Pennyroyal Oil is often used in cosmetic formulations for its skin-refreshing and toning qualities.

Benefits

1. Skincare Formulations: Used in very low dilutions to support oily or blemish-prone skin types.
2. Massage Oils: When diluted with a carrier oil, it can be used topically in low concentrations for muscle or skin toning purposes.
3. Cosmetic Products: Added to soaps, creams, or balms for a herbal note and potential skin-purifying benefits.
4. Insect Repellent Blends: Occasionally used in DIY topical insect repellent products (with proper dilution).

• Dilution is essential: Always dilute Pennyroyal Oil in a carrier oil such as jojoba, almond, or coconut oil before topical use. Recommended dilution: 0.5% or less.
• Patch Test First: Apply a small amount to a patch of skin and wait 24 hours to check for sensitivity.
