This fragrant herbaceous perennial, whose geographic origins remain unclear, results from crossing water mint (aquatica) with spearmint (spicata). It spreads rapidly by stolons. Widely used for its scent since antiquity, it is now grown in several parts of the world for its essential oil, obtained from the leaves, which is very rich in menthol.

A botanical story
A perennial herb with refreshing, balancing properties.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is an aromatic perennial herbaceous plant created by crossing water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). This species, with its powerful, fresh fragrance, spreads easily by runners and is cultivated in various parts of the world, particularly for its menthol-concentrated essential oil. This component is widely recognized for its refreshing and soothing properties, and is used in a number of areas: food products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations.
Since ancient times, peppermint has been prized for both its therapeutic benefits and its organoleptic qualities. Today, thanks to cell culture, the pure essence of this plant is brought to the fore while minimising environmental impact, offering a solution that is both natural and sustainable.

How it works
EtHAIReal Peppermint restores balance to oily scalps through a targeted, triple-action approach:
Oil Control
Regulates sebum production by inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase, helping prevent greasy hair and restoring natural shine. It also corrects lipid imbalances—especially in free fatty acids—to support a stronger, healthier scalp barrier.
Antioxidant Protection
Fights oxidative stress by activating key antioxidant enzymes like SOD (superoxide dismutase) and catalase, while reducing harmful free radicals (both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial ROS). It also lowers malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, protecting scalp cells from premature aging and environmental damage.
Soothing Relief
Reduces inflammation by lowering levels of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1α, IL-6, and PGE2, helping to calm irritation and discomfort.
This synergistic triple action makes EtHAIReal Peppermint a powerful ingredient for scalp care formulas designed to deliver freshness, balance, and long-term comfort for oily scalps.
