Peppermint / Mint: the cooling classic

Peppermint / Mint: the cooling classic

Few botanicals are as instantly refreshing as mint. The cool, clean sensation of peppermint is universally recognised, and it has made mint one of the most beloved ingredients in everything from teas and confectionery to oral care. That cooling character is the heart of its appeal.

Peppermint is a member of the mint family, in fact a natural hybrid, with bright green leaves rich in aromatic oils, the most famous of which gives mint its signature cooling note. The leaves are the part traditionally used, valued both for their refreshing flavour and aroma and for the plant’s long heritage in everyday customs around the world.

Peppermint and mint are traditionally known for their cooling, refreshing qualities, and peppermint in particular has a long association with digestive comfort in traditional practice, where it has been valued for its soothing character. We describe it in those traditional and sensory terms, around its refreshing nature and its heritage, rather than making medical claims. Mint’s appeal is genuinely about that clean, cooling experience.

What makes mint so versatile is exactly that cooling freshness, which suits both internal wellness blends and oral-care formulas. It is one of the few botanicals equally at home in a digestive tea and a mouthwash, which is why it appears in more than one place in the range.

In the Dr. Nona range, peppermint and mint feature in Halo Cleanseen, the digestive-support supplement, where they join anise and the fig-prune-tamarind fruit trio, and in the HALO-COMPLEX Multi Mouthwash, where peppermint joins chamomile, thyme, sage and citrus oils. In both, the Dead Sea elements anchor the formula while mint lends its cooling, refreshing signature.

For shoppers, mint is one of the most universally loved and recognisable ingredients there is. Its presence signals a formula with a fresh, cooling character, whether the goal is digestive comfort or oral freshness.

As with all these products, follow the directions on the label, and anyone pregnant, nursing or taking medication should check with a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement. Understood plainly, peppermint and mint are the cooling classic running through both Cleanseen and the Multi Mouthwash.

Find it in: Halo Cleanseen and the HALO-COMPLEX Multi Mouthwash.
