Peppermint Oil Without Terpene
Peppermint Oil Without Terpene is a refined form of peppermint oil that has undergone a process to remove or significantly reduce its terpene content. Terpenes are volatile organic compounds that contribute to the strong, distinctive odor of peppermint oil. By removing these terpenes, the resulting product has a milder aroma and is often used in applications where a less intense flavor is desired.
