Usage & Synergies
Face care
Peppermint Water is particularly suitable for oily, combination skin and skin with dilated pores. Its astringent and purifying action makes it an effective morning toner that prepares the skin without being aggressive. The cooling effect is especially appreciated during the warm season or after physical activity, when the skin needs a quick refresh.
Practical recommendations
- Purifying toner: Spray onto the face after cleansing and gently pat in. The astringent and cooling effect is immediate. Then apply your cream or serum.
- Purifying mask: Mix with Green Clay until it forms a homogeneous texture and apply for 10 minutes to oily areas. The combination is astringent and purifying, suitable for seborrheic-prone skin.
- Refreshing spray: Keep the bottle in the refrigerator and spray onto the skin during the day for an immediate refreshing effect.
Synergies in face care
For sebum control and a matte appearance of oily skin, the synergy with Marine-Mat, Azelaic Acid, and Cucumber Extract is purifying and balancing without dehydrating. For an antioxidant toner that refreshes and evens out dull skin, it combines well with Green Tea Extract and Niacinamide.
Body care
Body applications are perhaps the most characteristic for peppermint water. Its cooling and vascular tonic effects make it indispensable in sprays for tired legs, in post-sport products, and in natural deodorant formulas. It is, in fact, one of the rare hydrosols that provides an immediate functional sensation.
Practical recommendations
- Spray for tired legs: Keep the bottle in the refrigerator and spray abundantly onto calves, ankles, and soles after a long day or on hot days. The cooling and relieving effect is almost immediate.
- Post-sport spray: Spray onto targeted areas after physical activity. It alleviates the sensation of muscle tension and reduces local skin temperature.
- Ingredient in natural deodorants: Use as the aqueous phase in deodorant gels or sprays instead of distilled water for a natural anti-odor and freshness effect.
Synergies in body care
For a cooling gel or spray intended for tired legs with a draining effect, it combines efficiently with Aloe Vera Gel. For a toning body milk, it combines with Active Anticellu Oil and Grapefruit Essential Oil to amplify the firming effect. For a natural deodorant, it can be combined with Alum powder, Lemonester, or Sage Essential Oil.
Hair care
Peppermint water is valued for the care of an oily, itchy, or seborrheic-prone scalp. The cooling effect soothes itching and the sensation of discomfort, while the astringent action rebalances sebum production at the scalp level. It also stimulates local microcirculation, which is useful for a devitalized scalp.
Practical recommendations
- Refreshing scalp lotion: Spray onto the scalp and massage gently. It can be used before washing or between washes to extend the feeling of freshness and reduce excessive root shine.
- Scalp serum: Combine 1 to 1 with Rosemary Water to refresh and tone the scalp.
Synergies in hair care
For a toning shampoo intended for an oily scalp with seborrheic tendencies, it combines efficiently with Capil Hairmax Active, Lemon Essential Oil, or Eucalyptus Lemon Essential Oil. As a leave-in scalp lotion, it pairs well with Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 and Rosemary Essential Oil for a toning and follicle-stimulating effect.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does it produce a cooling sensation without being cold?
The menthol in peppermint water activates certain skin receptors responsible for perceiving cold, even at room temperature. This is not an actual drop in skin temperature, but rather a neurological signal of coolness. The effect is harmless and reversible.
Does it contain alcohol?
Our product is 100% pure distillate, with no added alcohol or preservatives.
Are there usage restrictions?
Yes. Due to its menthol content, peppermint water should not be applied to the face or chest of children under 3 years old. For adults and older children, it can be used without restrictions in external applications.
Safety in use
Floral waters are renowned for their excellent skin tolerance. Allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, as with any natural product that may naturally contain traces of substances considered allergens, hypersensitive individuals should perform a tolerance test (patch test) in the bend of the elbow 24 hours before use. Cosmetic product exclusively for external use.
Storage, preservation
Natural floral waters, which contain no alcohol or preservatives, are sensitive to contamination. Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool place away from light. We recommend storing it in the refrigerator, especially during the summer, to maintain its freshness.
