Explore Seasonal Blends →Aromatherapists and blenders who go through peppermint quickly can buy the exact same oil in 5 lb to 400 lb sizes instead of restocking small bottles constantly.
Read the Buying Guide →Resellers and private label brands can portion bulk peppermint into their own bottles, keeping a consistent, verifiable source behind every label they sell.
Read Bulk FAQ →Store bulk peppermint oil sealed, cool, and away from direct light, and decant working amounts into smaller airtight bottles instead of leaving a large container open on a workbench. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets. For any skin application, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first.
