DESCRIPTION
Bright and bracing, Wintergreen Essential Oil (Nepal) delivers a cooling chill that awakens the senses. Often compared to sweet birch, it offers the same clean freshness — with a sharper, more energizing edge. Steam distilled from the leaves of Gaultheria fragrantissima, this oil contains over 98% methyl salicylate, the compound behind its distinctive scent and icy touch.
Oil of wintergreen has traditionally been used in folk remedies and ritual blends, bringing stimulating clarity to creations. Makers turn to it for post-workout sprays, deodorants, and diffuser blends that cut through heaviness with a breath of fresh energy.
