Spearmint Essential Oil
Mentha spicata
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is steam distilled from the leaves, and the oil on this page comes from certified organic and organically grown plants in India and South Africa. The aroma is fresh, herbaceous, and minty, sitting somewhere between a top and a middle note.
The chemistry is led by carvone, a ketone, typically 53-70% in our batches. Those ketones are part of why Spearmint is loved for supporting the respiratory system, and the oil has a long reputation for its germ-fighting and antifungal character. Next comes d-limonene, a monoterpene, typically 15-21%. It brings brightness to the aroma along with antibacterial support. Together they give Spearmint that refreshing quality people reach for when they want a sense of clarity.
Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and the full report for each one lives right here on this page.

Batch SPE-111 comes from organically grown spearmint in India, steam distilled from the fresh herb in July 2026. Mentha spicata gives a sweet, green, gently cooling mint aroma, rounder and softer than peppermint, and this distillation captures that brightness beautifully. Ketones dominate at nearly 58%, the family behind spearmint's clearing, invigorating character, while monoterpenes at just over 28% lend the fresh, uplifting top note many people reach for when they want a sense of clarity and refreshment. Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested before it reaches you, and the full report and certificate of analysis for SPE-111 are available to download here. You are welcome to read the same chemistry we do.
Chemistry highlights
SPE-111 leads with carvone at 55.35% and limonene comes in at 21.67%. Limonene is the biosynthetic precursor carvone is built from. The downstream chain is visible too. (Z)-dihydrocarvone at 1.54%, neo-dihydrocarveol at 0.53%, (E)- and (Z)-carveol at 0.50% and 0.24%, and (E)-carvyl acetate at 0.18% sitting alongside its parent alcohol. Ninety-two components in total, with the tail below 0.1% doing most of the aromatic nuance.
