Mentha piperita oil, the essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the flowering peppermint plant(see also Menthae piperitae aetheroleum), is used in cosmetic formulations. Peppermint oil has a strengthening effect on skin and hair. It also has a refreshing and deodorizing effect and is used as a fragrance (reduces or masks unpleasant body odour; reduces or inhibits the basic smell or taste of a product).
