The essential oil of Spearmint is a refreshing and digestive oil, recognized for its mild tonic effect and its antispasmodic properties.


Its herbaceous aroma slightly sweet makes it a choice ingredient to soothe digestive troubles, stimulate concentration and bring a subtle sensation of freshness, without the minty intensity of Peppermint.


A TRULY FRENCH ORIGIN

Grown in France, the plants from our producers are distilled either in the Drôme Provençale (fixed distillery unit), or directly in the harvest field (mobile distillery unit), then packaged in our warehouse in Isère.

Each batch is traced from the plot to the bottle, with analyses conducted by a French laboratory.

A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE

This locally grown plant can represent a relevant alternative to popular exotic essential oils.

Despite their natural origin, these can have a significant environmental impact (deforestation, pressure on biodiversity, carbon-intensive transport).

Here is an example:

Plant: Eucalyptus globulus
Origin: France, Spain
Comparison:

Eucalyptus globulus is effective for deeply clearing the bronchi, while Spearmint offers a gentler decongestant action and a soothing herbaceous aroma.

Please note: Each essential oil has a unique identity, and the same plant can also vary depending on its origin. The equivalences proposed here do not aim to fully replace exotic plants, but to explore complementary alternatives based on your needs.

This comparison is part of an approach to promote Made in France and Made in Europe products, while encouraging responsible use of oils sourced from fragile ecosystems such as Tea Tree or Ylang-Ylang.
