Peppermint Essential Oil (2nd distillation): Re-distilled oils are reheated after the steam distillation. A portion of the the oil (waxes, di methyl sulfide) is then taken out of the peppermint giving the re-distilled 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. Be very careful when using in lip balms.
