dōTERRA Supermint Essential Oil - 15ml
Supermint is a blend of four different mints rather than a single oil — Peppermint, Japanese Mint, Bergamot Mint and Spearmint, each contributing something different. Japanese Mint brings the highest menthol content of the group, Bergamot Mint adds a softer, slightly fruity edge, and Spearmint rounds off the sharpness with a sweeter note.
The result is minty and cooling like Peppermint on its own, but rounder and less one-note, with a herbal sweetness underneath the initial hit of menthol.
It works well in a diffuser first thing in the morning or during a work session, and a well-diluted drop applied to the temples or back of the neck gives the same cooling effect topically.
Why people choose it

How to use it
- In a diffuser

Common questions
What's actually in Supermint?
Four mint oils blended together — Peppermint, Japanese Mint, Bergamot Mint and Spearmint — rather than a single mint species.
How is it different from Peppermint on its own?
Rounder and less one-note. Japanese Mint adds extra menthol, while Bergamot Mint and Spearmint bring a softer, slightly sweeter edge underneath the cooling hit.
How many drops should I use in a diffuser?
Three or four is usually enough. Like Peppermint, it carries a long way and can dominate a blend if you add too much.
What does it blend well with?
Citrus oils such as Wild Orange or Lemon brighten it further, and it holds its own alongside herb oils like Rosemary.
