Peppermint Flower Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Peppermint Flower Extract (Mentha Piperita Flower Extract) is a water-soluble botanical component derived from the gentle blooms of the peppermint plant, offering a milder alternative to stronger mint extracts. It is rich in Floral Flavonoids, gentle polyphenols, and mild cooling fractions, providing soothing comfort (observed trends up to 22%improvement) and enhancing brightness/clarity (up to 20% improvement) with an immediate, pleasant cooling sensation. Used typically at 1−5% in toners, essences, and gel-creams, its light texture and low irritation risk make it ideal for sensitive, combination, dull, and overheated skin seeking gentle antioxidant support and refreshing radiance without the harshness of peppermint essential oil.
