I'm doing research on peppermint oils since I am looking to purchase peppermint oil in bulk for a product for my company. I am noticing a large price difference between arvensis peppermint oil and peperita oils. I haven't been able to find many resources online about the difference in the scent/flavor/effects of the two other than a general "arvensis is lower quality"
What's your take?
Also totally down for pointers on the best companies to purchase peppermint oil in bulk from.
or should be grown as an annual?

Our restaurant garden has this enormous mass of mint growing in the corner, and it's not spearmint or peppermint, and I'm not really sure what it is, but my best guess is that it's a kind of wild mint, also known as field mint in BrE. Judging from the scent and the taste it has a much lower menthol content than the mint you'd buy from a supplier. We have normal mint growing too, but I just wondered whether anyone here has any experience with this species -- I was thinking of seeping it in fresh stock syrup and seeing if I can make something palatable to dress up juleps or mojitos. Perhaps a stick blender to get nice little particles of mild mint in the syrup (I think they'd go brown and oxidized, though) or else just a clear syrup. I know that the only way I'll ever get a proper answer is to start picking it and applying it, but before I do I thought I'd ask for any experience people have had. Any mint-related ideas are welcome!
tl;dr mint!?
Hello, I need help with a specific item. One of my best shaves of all time was with the 'Avalon Organics Peppermint Shaving Cream'. It was ridiculously moisturizing and made my legs feel extremely velvety and soft afterwards.
However, this item has been discontinued unfortunately :( I've found two stores that sell the item (Option 1 and Option 2) but I'm a bit worried buying from them, incase the item is fake, or they have a limited run of the products.
Can someone help me find an alternative shaving cream with similar product list? (Or could anyone confirm these websites are legit or help me find a better store to get the creams?

About conolidine:
Conolidine is one of 66 known alkaloids extracted from the Tabernaemontana Divaricata (commonly known as Crepe Jasmine). Conolidine is one of 4 known indole alkaloids within the plant. Conolidine belongs to a larger class of natural products, called C5-nor stemmadenines, members of which have been described as “opioid analgesics”. Put simply, this means that conolidine acts similarly to synthetic opioids in the way it provides relief. Conolidine is an exceptionally rare member of this family, being the first identified with medicinal qualities.
Conolidine Studies
Research suggests that conolidine is a potent analgesic which provides “Opiate Like” pain relief*, with no recorded side effects*. In various models of pain, the compound performed spectacularly, suppressing acute pain, and inflammatory-derived pain, two key measures of efficacy (refer to Jan 2019 article published by nature.com1 ). The compound is extensively studied, with pain relief compared to that of synthetic opioids, with none of the side effects or propensity for addiction*. Pharmacological Studies confirmed that “while conolidine is not an Opiate, it’s nearly as potent as morphine”*.

I’m attempting to achieve a very strong mint flavor in boiled sugar candy, and so far I’m not having much success. Ideally I would achieve something like Fox’s Glacier Mints, or the now-discontinued Brachs Ice Blue Coolers, or even like Halls peppermint cough drops. I want to feel the peppermint in my sinuses!
Base recipe, to 300F: 400g sugar 236g glucose syrup 236g water
I’m adding the oils at 300F on the way down. For the menthol crystals I tried adding after the mixture rests in a 250 oven for 15 minutes.
Here are some things I’ve tried:
Mentha piperita oil: at 1tsp not strong enough. At more than that, a lot of the oil floats out of the candy as it cools. I’ve gone as high as 2 tbsp. Also something is missing in the flavor.
Mentha arvensis oil: overwhelmingly bitter, but if I could overcome that, a bit closer to the flavor of Fox’s.
Menthol crystals: bitter! Most of the menthol flavor seems to off-gas even if I add it after the mixture has stabilized in a 250F oven.
Peppermint extract: an entire 2oz bottle is just about strong enough, but it really makes the mixture foam when I add it because of the water. Probably cost prohibitive.
Mentha spicata oil: lovely but spearmint isn’t what I’m after.
Lorann peppermint baking emulsion: even 2 tbsp is very lightly flavored.
The Fox’s candy lists “mint oil” as the flavoring. The company is based in Ireland. I’d love to know exactly what ingredient they are using.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I made another batch and decided to blend my own oil. One reply said that I needed to use professional ingredients, but the candy I’m trying to clone just uses natural “mint oil”. So I blended 1 tsp (dram) mentha piperita (peppermint oil) with 1/4 tsp mentha arvensis (corn mint) oil and 5 drops mentha spicata (spearmint oil). It’s a much more full, but still clean, “peppermint” flavor, not quite turning the corner into bitter. I still wish it could be stronger/ more pungent, so I’ll keep experimenting. But it’s pretty great now!
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
I used peo with jojoba oil diluted to 5% for 6 months and the results were minimal. I found out the essential oil used in the study was mentha piperita and the oil i used was mentha arvensis. Is this the issue or shouldnt it make a difference? It is both pepermint oil.
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!

So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
Heyho,
So I am kinda confused, I dont have much hair left on my head, so I bought expensive regrowth shampoo (30 bucks a bottle) to help at least stabilize my current hair a little bit. I have AGA and my hairloss is only on the arts where its normal. I dont loose patches f hair from other parts where I immediately think :" Oh thats a reaction from my scalp to that thing)
Neofollics Shampoo + Condi
Shampoo Ingrediens
Aqua, Sodium cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl glucoside, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Cocoglucoside, Glycerin, Sodium cocoyl glutamate, Sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, Caffeine, Ecklonia cava extract, Piroctone olamine, Argania spinosa kernel oil, Sanguisorba officinalis root extract, Carthamus tinctorius flower extract, Epigallocathechin gallate (EGCG), Raspberry ketone, Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract, Panax ginseng root extract, Niacinamide, Mentha arvensis leaf oil, Osmarinus officinalis leaf oil, Acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Caprylyl glycol, Polyquaternium-7, Dipropylene glycol, Sodium benzoate, Sodium hydroxide, Glyceryl caprylate, Citric acid, CI 42051
The sad part is : I cant find any real experiences from other people, NO ONE IS USING THAT STUFF.
I think it helped me at first, but after a few months, my head looks terrible, few droplets of water and you can see my skin.
My Question is : What are the experts of haircare think about the stuff the put in the shampoo?
Just marketing bullshit + markup prices?
Safe to use, but not much help ( I still have a couple of bottles which I would like to use up)
Dont use that stuff, or you probably will loose the rest also.
Thank you so much for you expertise
I won't be doing that today!
You take away their little brooms
