Peppermint Leaf Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Peppermint Leaf Extract (Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract) is a water-soluble botanical concentrate rich in Polyphenols, Flavonoids, and balanced cooling aromatic molecules, positioning it as a potent yet gentler alternative to peppermint oil. It delivers immediate cooling freshness, significant clarity improvement (observed trends up to 22%), and strong antioxidant defense (up to 28%), while also supporting oil balance (up to 18%). Used typically at 0.5−3% in toners and gel-serums, its balanced activity makes it ideal for combination, oily, dull, and heat-stressed skin seeking refreshing clarity, reduced shine, and robust environmental protection without harsh irritation
