🌿 Product Description

Wintergreen Oil is a potent and aromatic essential oil extracted from the macerated leaves of Gaultheria procumbens, a small evergreen shrub native to North America and cultivated in the Himalayan foothills. Renowned for its sharp, sweet-minty, and medicinal aroma, this oil is rich in methyl salicylate—a natural compound with powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Wintergreen Oil is a traditional ingredient in pain-relief balms, sports liniments, muscle rubs, and aromatherapy blends. In perfumery, it is used in trace amounts to impart a refreshing, minty coolness to top notes in herbal or medicinal accords.
