WHAT IS WINTERGREEN PURE ESSENTIAL OIL?
Pure Wintergreen Oil is derived from two primary botanical species: Gaultheria Procumbens, native to North America, and Gaultheria Fragrantissima, found across parts of Asia and India.
The name "Wintergreen" refers to the plant's ability to stay green and continue photosynthesis even during the colder months. This unique trait is what led to the broader use of the term "evergreen" to describe similar plants.
This essential oil is known for its distinct scent, a sweet and minty fragrance with gentle woody notes. While it may smell similar to peppermint or spearmint, Wintergreen doesn't belong to the Mint family. Wintergreen Essential Oil is widely used today in scented blends, skincare and hair care products.

Discover how this potent essential oil can be added to personal care products and aromatic blends.
DIY SKINCARE FORMULATIONS
When properly diluted, pure Wintergreen Essential Oil can be an excellent addition to DIY skincare products. Here are simple recipes to try:
- DIY moisturiser — Add 1 to 2 drops of pure Wintergreen Oil to your homemade face cream, body lotion or foot cream for a cool, minty aroma.
- Facial serum — Blend Wintergreen Oil with a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond oil to produce a gentle facial oil. For general use, essential oils should make up no more than 2% to 3% of the final mixture. You can achieve a 2.5% dilution by adding 15 drops of Wintergreen Oil to 6 teaspoons of carrier oil.
- Spot treatment — Mix 1 drop of pure and natural Wintergreen Oil with a teaspoon of aloe vera gel and apply directly to the affected area.
DIY SCALP AND HAIR CARE FORMULATIONS
Pure Wintergreen Oil is often used in hair care products for its ability to support healthy hair growth and help keep your locks feeling hydrated and looking vibrant. Try this simple DIY blend at home:
- Shampoo — Add 1 to 2 drops of pure and natural Wintergreen Oil to homemade shampoo. This may help purify the scalp by lifting away dirt and excess sebum while leaving the hair lightly fragranced with its fresh, minty scent.
NATURAL FRAGRANCE AND DIFFUSER BLENDS
Pure Wintergreen Essential Oil carries a clean, minty aroma layered with subtle woody undertones. Its scent is both refreshing and grounding, reminiscent of cool mountain air drifting through evergreen forests.
As a top note, Wintergreen pairs well with essential oils like peppermint, spearmint, marjoram, thyme and ylang-ylang, making it a popular choice for revitalising blends. It's commonly used in candles, natural perfumes, air fresheners and diffuser blends.
Here’s an easy aromatic project you can try:
- Homemade scented candle — Melt 4 cups of soy wax flakes in low to medium heat. Then, add 30 to 40 drops of pure Wintergreen Essential Oil. Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, slowly pour the mixture into a mason jar. Allow the candle to cool and harden for 24 hours. Once solid, trim the wick to about ¼ inch.

FAQ's
CAN WINTERGREEN PURE ESSENTIAL OIL BE APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE SKIN?
No. Pure Wintergreen Essential Oil is highly potent, which is why it must always be diluted with a carrier oil such as jojoba, coconut or grapeseed oil before topical application. First-time users must perform a patch test by applying a coin-sized amount of the diluted blend to a non-sensitive area like the inner forearm. A common guideline is to mix one drop of Wintergreen Oil with four drops of carrier oil. Keep an eye on the area for at least 24 hours. If allergic reactions appear, discontinue use immediately.
HOW SHOULD I USE WINTERGREEN OIL SAFELY?
N-essentials’ Pure Wintergreen Oil is intended for external use only and should be handled with care. Keep out of reach of children and always perform a patch test before full application to check for any adverse reactions.
HOW DO YOU PROPERLY STORE PURE AND NATURAL WINTERGREEN OIL?
Keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. The cap should always be tightly sealed when not in use. To minimise oxidation over time, it's recommended to regularly decant the oil into smaller bottles. This reduces the headspace (the air above the oil), which helps preserve its natural properties for longer.
