A portion of the the oil (waxes, di methyl sulfide) is then taken out of the peppermint giving the redistilled oil a higher menthol content and a more traditional mint (candy cane) smell. Warnings: Causes a cooling effect in melt and pour, and lotions and should not be used on mucous membranes or sensitive areas.
