Pennyroyal Essential Oil (Mentha arvensis Herb Oil)

INCI Name: Mentha arvensis oil

The essential oil of pennyroyal (wild mint) is obtained from the flowers and leaves of the Mentha arvensis plant through a steam distillation process. The color of the essential oil ranges from clear to light yellow, and its aroma is strong, fresh, and cool.

  • In ancient times, pennyroyal essential oil was used to prepare remedies believed to help with coughs and colds, headaches, as an insect repellent, and for use in baths.
  • It is used in creams and ointments that leave a cooling sensation on the skin and is believed to combat muscle and physical fatigue.
  • In aromatherapy, it is used in products that eliminate unpleasant odors, while it is thought to aid concentration.

Safe usage: Do not use essential oils on the body without a carrier oil. Use almond oil, jojoba oil, etc., in a ratio of 10ml (carrier oil) to 5 drops of essential oil. Essential oils can be quite irritating to the skin and should be avoided by pregnant women and children under 5 years of age. Individuals with heart conditions and hypertension should use them with caution and medical advice.

    Dangerous botanical contradiction on the label

    Buyers beware—especially if formulating cosmetics, soaps, or for household use:
    The label and product title simultaneously state “Mint,” “Pennyroyal,” and “Pennyroyal,” while the botanical name/INCI is listed as “Mentha arvensis oil.” These are completely different plants:
    1. True Pennyroyal is the species Mentha pulegium. It contains extremely high levels of pulegone, which is a documented potent hepatotoxin and abortifacient. It is strictly prohibited for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, and general cosmetic use.
    2. Mentha arvensis is common wild mint/cornmint, rich in menthol and with a completely different chemical and toxicological profile.
    Having three incompatible names on the same bottle means the consumer does not know exactly what they are buying or what substances they are putting on their body. In essential oils, accurate botanical classification is a matter of safety and health.
