SOiL Organic Wintergreen Essential Oil is a pure certified organic essential oil with a sharp, fresh, medicinal-minty aroma and a very potent aromatic character. It is especially used in highly diluted massage and body blends where a stronger warming-cooling profile is wanted. Because wintergreen is rich in methyl salicylate, it must be handled with extra care and used only in low, well-controlled dilutions. This is a concentrated aromatic ingredient for external use only.

♡ Why we love it: Wintergreen has a distinctive intensity that makes it very useful in targeted body blends when used properly. A little goes a very long way, which is why careful dilution and thoughtful use matter so much with this oil.
