Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract
Formulate Labs offers Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract as a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, providing a potent blend of active polyphenols and flavonoids, including rosmarinic acid, luteolin-7-O-glucuronide, eriocitrin, and hesperidin. Known commonly as Peppermint or Mentha Piperita, our offering focuses on the standardized INCI name for clear cosmetic formulation, ensuring consistent efficacy beyond generic trade names.
Nature's invigorating touch for skin & scalp.
Botanical Identity: Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract is a highly valued cosmetic ingredient. Trade Names: Commonly recognized as Peppermint Leaf Extract, Peppermint, or Mentha Piperita, Formulate Labs offers this ingredient by its INCI name, ensuring clarity and standardization for your formulations rather than proprietary supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract provides dual-action skin benefits through its anti-aging and soothing properties. Mechanistically, it functions as a potent antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS). It also significantly suppresses the release of extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) from epidermal keratinocytes, a key signaling molecule that increases during aging and inflammation, thereby helping to prevent dermal thinning and the appearance of wrinkles. Furthermore, the extract delivers a robust calming effect by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). This activity helps to soothe irritated skin and preserve the integrity of the extracellular matrix.
Use levels: We recommend incorporating our Standard or Concentrated Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract hydroglycerin stock at 0.5% to 5.0% in final formulations for general benefits. For targeted functional complexes, use levels may extend up to 10.0%.
Market context: Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract is a versatile ingredient with three primary competitive positioning angles in the B2B market: Cooling & Sensory Stimulation, Purifying & Astringent, and Anti-Aging & Environmental Defense. Its immediate cooling sensation makes it a staple in scalp and body care, while its natural antimicrobial properties position it for blemish-prone skin. A growing trend leverages its antioxidant capabilities for modern anti-aging and urban defense lines.

Bulk composition at the selected Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract loading. Base carrier components scale proportionally when preservative is added; extract stays at the selected loading. Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-MPE-W1-MBS4-5PCT-001).
SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected carrier. The botanical carries polar phenolics, flavonoid glycosides, and related extractable fractions. Those markers support antioxidant and skin-conditioning cosmetic stories. This is not a solvent isolate or a standardized marker extract. Lot identity appears on the COA and TDS.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
